I made a liar out of myself

snowy @snowy22315 (192985) • United States 26 May

So, just a few days ago I was stating that I never can sleep during the day, and I never really do, until today. Honestly, it was a combination of the cloudy day, an ibupropen which I didn't need and nothing really going on...

eM Winter is also coming in NZ and it's been tough for an Asian woman like me. As of the moment, I don't have many plans rather than replying to unanswered posts in Mylot. I feel like I don't want other mylotters to feel left out or something.

eM So sorry for your loss. One week isn't even enough to process the news that someone is dying from cancer and yet, with just a glimpse of an eye, she died. May her soul rest in peace. Praying for everyone's healing/acceptance.

eM A true friend will not sugar coat anything just to maintain close ties with you. He/she should stay genuine as possible and will stab you in the front. If you know what I mean.
