Oh! How I yearn for the countryside, to be at one with the landscape. Just for a moment I was right there with you in your poem, you make it seem so breathtaking.

Posted on Tue, 20 Dec 2022
I think you've kept this story so real. There's only so many times you can forgive someone for their aggression, then the only action you can take, is to move on, but for so many women the fear is far too great, which is very sad.
