Yesterday I came home from dinner running a slight fever. Four days before my trip and I have a slight fever, and my fevers usually last an average of 7 days. So I took a couple of paracetamol pills and went to sleep. I woke up feeling better but ...

I'm tired and I'm lonely. I hate always being the one to ask people out. Nobody ever asks me what time I finish work or what I'm doing after. Whether I'm free this day or that. There's never anyone to have dinner with and nothing to eat at home. ...
