I think I’ve subconsciously been trying to do this. Sometimes I don’t think I’m that kind…but maybe I’m wrong. Maybe I need to reexamine my actions. I think I actually might be a little kinder than I thought.
Today’s example – went to the grocery store. For some reason, there were no carts by the [...]
