Ah, so now you've taken to the double bold. To say what? To show that my belief does not translate into action? I appear to deny you hope? How could I...
August 13, 2025 at 07:52
I see you still strike out hope. There's no hope for you! You really shouldn't do that to my writing. I believe in hope. To remove that is simply wron...
