An Ode to Unsolicited Advice
Please not that this is a Journal entry *Aka a rant* There is a theme I have been seeing lately across a great deal of platforms including Tumblr, Instagram, Facebook and just about everything else and that is people’s tendency to think that other people, even people they do not know, have never met and [...]
