Not Everyone is Going to Like You

Ooh, harsh words, huh? I bet your momma never told you that, did she? Oh, heavens no. Momma said, “Oh, poopsie, you’re so wonderful and special, anyone would be crazy not to love you!” Listen, I’m sure Momma means well and everything, but she’s seeing you through her extremely biased […]
