The Daily Thoughts of an Enneagram 4

A Lament for Charlie

you know me you have loved me recently but now you won’t even touch me – It is fruitless for me to assume this is about me because, lately, it’s always about you – yet I’ve been through enough to know this isn’t personal not even close – I am all too familiar with your […]
