Joli Has Never Been Accepted
3/1/2012 5:00:41 PM
Joli is 43, and for her entire life she has been misunderstood by others. No one holds her in high regards, no one gives her the benefit of the doubt and no one gives her the respect she gives others. She has always wanted to love intensely and be loved just as passionately, but has never had that opportunity. She's sensitive and cries easily, and this has hurt her to the core. She's afraid her time is running out since her health is poor, and now she's losing hope. Is there some comfort you can give to her?
