Who said so and why can’t I say something else? Those brittle women at school in the counselor’s office treated the world as if it were a yardstick and they had tight hold of both ends.

Essay A mindset in life is to worry about oneself and his or hers priorities‚ but that mindset can enlarge and take over other priorities or wants in one’s life.
