I don’t know what’s been wrong with me. I’ve felt profoundly empty. I’ve been sick, so that hasn’t helped. Spent the early part of the week in bed or throwing up. And I hate hurting anyone’s feelings. I’m not comfortable with any kind of confrontation so being in the unhappy position of ending a possible [...]
