Null Paradox | Being a Friend
Let’s talk About You Being a Friend This should sound obvious, but I’m going to clarify it. Again. I’m not particularly interested in having a cadre of friends. One, maybe two, works just fine in my personal world. But you; you may think you need more friends. Many more. Before you embark on the journey…
