Life presents variables; learning how to cope in order to master, minimize, or tolerate what has come to pass.

Do I Blame Myself?. Content Warning.
Do I blame myself? Yes and no. I went with this guy fishing one day. He asked me, and I said yes—believing that my tomboyish style made me just one of the guys. I didn’t think much of it.
