We all change when our heart gets broken, especially if it happens more than once. And although you don’t know it, you are no exception to this rule. You don’t notice these things because they’ve become a part of who you are and because these changes didn’t happen overnight. But it is simple—some of your…
As horrible, toxic, and manipulative as they are, psychopaths can actually teach you some really valuable life lessons, when you choose to dig a bit deeper. Don’t get me wrong.
