Want a Brighter Future, Release Your Past
Poor Milena, it seems she is always worried that things won’t go well for her because she had this or that unpleasant experience. Milena often judges her friends based on how they acted at their lowest moments, accusing her friend Judith of yelling at her for over a trivial matter. She forgot, however, that the friend had a big fight with her husband just before meeting Milena for dinner. She also forgot that the fight was over a favor that Judith had promised to do for Melina.
One time, Milena’s friend, Paul, scratched her car. He opened the door quickly and accidentally hit it against a pole. Melina never lets him forget about that, and she mentions it every time Paul gets in her car.
