Maya Angelou, you see this everywhere

No one warns you that your 30s are for losing friendships, dissolving strong bonds that you thought time tested. Watching them thaw with a smoky finish of animals burning is quite the horror of flashbacks & nightmares. Pushing you to the tether of sanity & forgiveness, not of
