    Relationship How do you deal with projections?

    The world is not made up of enemies and friends. Anyone can screw you over it's just dependent on how far they'll take it and what'd be the catalyst. Projection is a weird one.

There is motivation because you are not ready to give up on this feeling passing and if you can hold on and distract...
