ReplyDeleteCassette 3 Side B: Yes, I have felt like somebody was using me. They were using me to get things out of me like money, to get to my ex boyfriends and other stuff. I felt stupid for believing them when they told me lies, sad because I though they were my friend, and mad because they wasted my time. Hayley Radford
