“I’ve got no choice. I thought he would be responsible. But after I told him the news, he just froze and ran away without saying anything. Can you believe it? He ran away and disappeared! I was desperate and cried every single day… Then he texted me the other day…you read it yourself.”

For the past twenty years, I’ve always been in a tug-of-war with my damn life, and I got no experience of truly falling in love with anyone.
