Cigars and Tree
Feeling as if you’ve been kicked in the nuts with a golf shoe is similar to being ghosted by someone with you had a connection. By someone that listened. I blame myself for these feelings and for having unwarranted expectations. I blame myself for this false feeling of rejection.

Ye olde-fashioned ice cream shoppe
Round the corner a little bit
