Stop making a joke out of people’s pain; it is not fair! These are the reasons I will never bring my dispute in my relationship into the public space. Heartache can lead to depression, and depression can lead to many things. Make una leave them alone.”

Some things are best left unsaid!!!! You will only know and see things I want you to see and know! Don’t get confused with my posts…. You know absolutely nothing about me!!! Stop bullying people on their pages!!!!.”
