I suppose one little bit of advice wouldn’t harm, i guess only you can choose whether or not to put it into action. A best friend is meant to give you advice that you can put in to action as she knows what will be best for you, a doctor is meant to give you lots of options as advice and you yourself choose which is best.

Who knew that a website could change your life, the people that you think you trust the most turn out to be the people who are out to get you. Now that little square thing that sits in the corner of my bedroom owns me, and the little square buttons set me off.
