I also am afraid that I have learned the empirical way, that often, experience teaches us that it doesn’t teach us a damn thing.
On the night of the full moon it was as if I was under a spell myself. A chocolate-craving spell. Anyone who knows me would know this is quite unusual as I am more of a cheese and salami girl (savoury), but that night ...
