This page has received a fair number of visits from someone. The last was Saturday, Feb 25, at about 18:00 hours. Hence, the content of this page has been hidden. What happened is real. What happened is pain and anguish, and I won’t allow someone to tramp over this, in their bid to protect one […]
This is what vulnerability can look like. I don’t have much of a social media presence. I keep my Instagram fiercely private. FB is deactivated, and I use Goodreads only to mark my book reading.
