Its Me...Again
Its been a while since I last wrote on here and a lot has changed since I last did. December 2021 to April 2022 was a hectic period for me. From my dad falling sick and needing surgery to job constraints it has been a lot but what I want to talk about today is what my relationship of 4 years, which ended this year taught me.
