Preface
The struggle is real. The battles of relationships, society, and personal challenges are real. This collection explores all that and concludes pretty concisely:
“Do not hesitate. Do not grasp.”
Or, as Yoda might say in a much clearer way:
“Do or do not, there is no try.”
It Is Hot This Winter
This place is rather warm don’t you think? Like the house where I grew up… It’s like the feeling I get when loved. Woah there, what are you doing? This is the time to Netflix and Chill, I will not be some girl for you to shill I am… Comfy… Maybe for a minute. You know what I think about this? While it is cold outside I can see… It’s like you and I can connect. Hey there, come a little closer and I’ll tickle you. Don’t let this end as boring as the screen Come find how to make us warmer… Bring whipped cream. Yes, food! I love food as much I love you. You are calmer… Do you not think about becoming a reject? I do and I can assure you that this risky Is it really that warm in here? Or is it too hot to be winter?

Even I can say I’ve been in this predicament before, and it’s not fun! Either way, let me know your thoughts in the comments!
