Did you get into trouble?ĭid you know that a good deed erases a bad deed? ![]() I don't care how much people bug me sometimes, l'd rather be with somebody than by myself. L always think l'll have a lot of fun if l'm alone, but when l'm alone, it isn't that much fun at all. L have been working very hard at keeping people away, haven't l? l think you just have to wear an outfit that doesn't have pigeon poop on it. a couple of years since l've talked to anybody? If it was gone, you wouldn't be this nice. Your heart might still be broken, but it isn't gone. When you do decide to try it, it won't be any good. lf you aren't going to use your heart, then what's the difference if it gets broken?
