>>2347318I had never worked in my life, but I knew how to make myself useful. I was a lot more careful on how I treated people this time around; I wouldn’t carelessly ask favors or give people ‘one of my looks’ and try to smile only when it was necessary and to be polite. Even then, I had a whole bunch of suitors and more with every passing day.
Life is also getting boring. When the highlight of my day is rejecting someone’s marriage proposal politely because my best friend is a basically blind, although agreeable and kind, old lady; I know I have problems. How can I make friends without… abusing the ‘charm’? I would like to ask grandma but I’m afraid to go to her house. People would remember me; I would be very, very surprised if they didn’t.
Was I… wrong for yearning a little more?
