VB25 – Her Again by Xue Faith My mother thought she was too good for this world, so she left. As if that raspberry wasn’t enough, she thought it’d be “funny” as part of her exit to engage in a little human trafficking and auction ME off! After a couple of humiliating weeks of being [...]

I was never really supposed to be. Actually I was just explaining “me” to someone tonight… and I realized that if you haven’t been reading this blog for months… it’s all kind of confusing.
