Social things are hard for me. I never knew where I belonged in when I am not myself. I am comfortable being the person everyone expects me to me.

I had been alone for so long.
Would You Date Yourself?
Would you date yourself? This is a question I asked myself a few years ago while dating in my 40s.

Salomé SaffiriPublished 3 years ago in HumansAnonymous Has A Bone To Pick With Elon Musk
Anonymous is one of the most and probably the most well-known hacktivist groups to exist on the planet. Founded in 2003, the collective is mostly known for their strongly held beliefs on bringing justice to the injustice that’s performed by not only our government, but people who use their high status to mistreat and abuse the lower-class. They are ruthless and unforgiving. Cold, and calculating. Or so they were, at least. They actually aren’t as active now as they were in previous years.

So when my friend asked if I wanted to go to a birthday party after our dinner plans, I reluctantly agreed.
