"WE ARE ONE HUMAN BEING SPECIES". Content Warning.
MICROSOFT DESIGNER APP This is not all about me. I author these stories about abuse or other genres to help others see the dilemma of being involved with people. This story and many other stories are authored by me to inform people about these psychological issues of relationships. There are times I use "I" because the story was written from a first-person perspective. "I" does not always mean that it's about me. I am 75 years old. I authored articles that were found that I wrote at 16 and 17. So, IT IS NOT ALL ABOUT ME! FYI! Enjoy all! LOVE, PEACE, UNDERSTANDING.
