Secret i'll share.
-my younger brother has kissed more people than i have.
it makes me sick...
i'm really bugged today.
this is why:
i try really hard to make myself someone who people are willing to talk to.
i try really hard to show people i don't judge.
i try really hard to show people i love them no matter what is going on in their lives.
but one thing that really bugs me is when a friendship has reached
a certain point, and they still feel like they have to keep things from me because quote
"i'm mormon and i will judge them."
it makes me sick.
i can't tell you how often it happens tho!
it honestly breaks my heart when some one feels they can't trust me.
it honestly breaks my heart when some one feels they can't trust me.
i have that feeling right now,
and yesterday.
anyway i just wanted to get that out.
it guess it makes me feel better to write...? :)
