It’s a lot easier to please someone when you know what they want. But what do you do when you meet someone who does not seem to want anything? I didn’t realise I was making things difficult for people until 5 years ago when the first girl I was seeing in college said she didn’t […]
WHAT IS HAPPINESS?
Some years ago, I wrote an exam and got a little below 60%. Mehn, I was really proud of myself😃! I wanted to share my joy with a classmate who was with me, but the dude looked so sad I thought he must have failed terribly. I asked him his score anyway, only to be […]
