smile. But then something happened and I became this person who doesn’t genuinely laugh much anymore. I find it hard to joke and I’ve turned into this “buzz kill” kind of person. Where before I would have been honest but with a side of humor so that people never were hurt by what I said and it wouldn’t bother anyone. But, now I’m just brutally honest and it tends to hurt people’s feelings, or the way I say things may get misinterpreted. Because in all honesty I don’t ever want to hurt anyone’s…
