You are going somewhere
Tomorrow has brighter opportunities for you than today has, but tomorrow is less forgiving of your mistakes than today is. With time, you meet better and more influential friends.

Sometime in July

Are you complicated?
There are many people who will easily fall in love with your personality. To them, it’s hard to believe such a sweet person like you exist. You probably grew up or work with people who remind you constantly of your imperfections and you’ve formed the opinion that it’s hard to find someone who truly understands…
