Hi, my name is Nao. I am a time being. Do you know what a time being is? Well if you give me a moment, I will tell you.

Having a go: some things that most people don’t understand
What’s something most people don’t understand? 1. If someone isn’t making small talk with you, (in a hairdresser or nail salon) they aren’t being snobby, they are most likely shy or introverted and don’t know what to say. 2. If you don’t change the thing that’s pissing you off: job, relationship, location, situation then nothingContinue reading “Having a go: some things that most people don’t understand”
