Yesterday was a special day, the International Women's day. I congratulated to my mom, cousins, friends and nephews. Buy, I question myself Why need a special day to celebrate ourself?
women are happy when their boyfriend or partner understands they’re upset. haha I dont understand that, but I agree when the study says the importance of the communicative and empathetic in a relationships, because the happier was there.
