You Don’t Have To Be My BFF. But..

Posted on October 23, 2023 by Real Women

Like many little girls, I wanted everyone to like me.  Not in the way of being queen of the pretty-and- popular-posse; if anything, I was anti-clique and substantially nerdy.  It was more like I just wanted everyone to get along, … Continue reading →
