I think human beings are very cruel. I’m not saying this to make everybody feel bad. I’m saying this because we do horrible things in life while compromising what’s around us. Like animals.

I miss him so much, every single day. Every time I go or even just pass by the places we have been. Every time I remember how happy I was with him. Every time someone hugs me now, it is his warmth and body that I imagine holding. He was the 4th J in my…
