She

Was gorgeous, handsome, tall. In her mind, she had it all. Till men used her beauty, Just to get some booty. Beauty, alas, became her downfall. July 3, 2019 9:45am PST

Line, I was just wondering, if this happens to looker men, too. I just see it as a lesson we learn in life. Nothing sad about it. Life is chock full of lessons that, hopefully we grow from and live fuller lives....Panagiota

Greetings JW. Is not all of life, when we think about it..a combination of Joy and Pathos? Jobs, schooling, relationships? In my travails, have yet to find perfection.)) Pamagiota < nice meeting you. > thank you.

This is so true and hilarious but kind of sad at the same time.
