*The names of some individuals in this store have been changed to protect their identities. I used to have an IPhone, until today. Samara woke up in a cranky stupor this morning. I quickly gave her a bottle of organic whole milk, hoping that would lift her mood, but she refused it. She sat on [...]
I consider myself a sensitive person. Although, I keep a lot of my sensitivity on the inside. Something someone says will offend me and often, I don't say anything.
