Partially lying, to be precise. Against my will, in reality. Continue reading “THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PICTURE – PART 3”
MEANWHILE, IN REAL LIFE…
I have two very personal reasons to maintain my website and its related IG page: the two young ladies surrounding me at home. One is 4 years old (and we have time). The other one is almost 18 and, bottom line, is the core reason of all you see here. Continue reading “MEANWHILE, IN REAL LIFE…”
SELF-ESTEEM
