Hope you all had wonderful weekends.
Amazed at how the weekend included tons of fun, walks, and
laugh with some fabulous friends.
Last night I had a really interesting conversation with my best
friend, Elena.
We had a long discussion about relationship problems.
"The fear of intimacy-Elena said- is a common relationship
problem which can involve emotional distance.

idiosyncrasies to other people!), and finally wrecks my
