lessons learned.

One week ago today, I walked into my (now ex-) boyfriend’s house and found two used condoms in the toilet and the scent of another woman on his pillow, which was technically my pillow when I spent the night. He said he meant to tell me that day, that he wanted to tell me [...]

Before I discovered StumbleUpon, Wikipedia was (and still is, really) my go to portal for educational entertainment. [...]
