I watched a drama about difficulties in a life of marriage and children. Movies make me feel emotions a little bit. It got me vulnerable and I almost opened up. I hate that.

"So, what's been happening in the past few weeks?" She asked. "Well, we had our camping trip," I said. "And how did that go?" "It was okay. … Continue reading Happiness?
