I also am a firm believer that a little lie has probably never hurt anybody. Then I was put on the receiving end of the half-truths and, eventually, the frustration built up. The overflow happened in a flurry of text notifications and dimmed screens. sorai 6:38 p.m. What happened to the plans we made? tom 6:42 p.m. sorry sorry i had a family thing sorai 6:48 p.m. if youre gonna make up a lie, at least get your friends in it so they don’t post on social media. tom 6:54 p.m. it’s not that big of a deal tom 6:56 p.m. you don’t need to know where i am all the time sorai 6:59 p.m. you made these plans, so you bailing on us really just doesn’t make sense.
