A proverbial story
I give up.
The spare battery costs $87 and since i don’t have a choice of getting a new line or upgrading my handset under my mobile plan, i will just have to follow the crowd and buy a spare battery.
But that’s not the purpose for this entry.

She held her own thoughts to the question that he raised and she would have loved to speak the truth if she knew in the first place what she wanted.
Truth was she was equally confused and afraid of fighting for what she wanted.”
