Sunday 100: Remorse
So you guys find vague titles to be uncreative, eh? For each March Sunday 100s, I had planned out vague and interesting titles, but I guess, those titles will have to wait now. From now on I will try to pick a closed title, so you guys are able to write a Sunday 100.
Perhaps, I should start with “Mother’s Day”, but for me, everyday is a Mother’s Day. Do we celebrate ‘Happy Day’ everyday? Why not?! So it ain’t going to be that title.
Everyone has a bit of regret… If you can write about ‘love’ then you can write about…
So without further ado, the title for this week is:
Remorse

“Maa ,sufferring silently,makes pickels”
