To you who I allowed myself to love and who pretended to feel that love.
To you who I twice gave my honesty, trust and hope, only to have them leave my presence in tightly clenched fists.
To you who freely left me your sorrow, pain, misguided anger and regret, to you I say “ I’m not your past, I’ve had no hand in it.

are politicians sleezier than everyone else?
Anthony Weiner resigned today. He has made the news for three consecutive weeks.
