It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it [...]
Do you ever find yourself over-whelmed and paralyzed by an unnamable fear pumping through your veins at 1000mph? A fear that has no root in something that has actually happened, but rather a fear that has taken root and been fed by your subconscious mind? I often find myself in this world of worst-case-scenarios. It's [...]
Don't let this life get you down. We've only got one guarantee, and that is that none of us will be here forever. Don't let one dark day steal your sunshine. Don't let your tears wash away your joy. Promote peace and harbor hope. Be a safe place for those in need. Guard your heart but [...]
