Why does she always do this?? Bet her own life for the life of others?? Like, I get it girl. You're but one light in the endless starry sky, but stilllllllll she.. sigh there's to hoping they listen to her, and don't call her a traitor and all that... fingers crossed that they give her that at least.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks
Selflessness, a thing I'm personally lacking of, I want to give a little bit of my selfishness to her ~~~ sigh ~~~
