i don’t like being wrong. i don’t mean making a mistake at work or misstating a fact ~ though really i’m not a fan of those scenarios either. but what bothers me most is to think it likely that i’m wrong about myself. as someone who always thinks before acting, reflects upon my inner psyche and truly believes i [...]

i guess it’s time to admit that jc and i are dating. we both still insist that it has to be a day-by-day thing but when you take a friendship and turn it into more, it’s hard not to find yourself ten steps ahead of the game. for him that’s so much easier. he’s spontaneous and easy [...]
