Where do you get your advice?
I knew a girl who talked to geese.
I’m pretty certain I have always had a problem with limits, with not knowing whether I’ve gone too far or not far enough. Sometimes I seem to give up so easily, stepping down before I’ve really attempted something of my skill level. Take for example the all school spelling bee. I think it was forth [...]

Escapism
I met a man today while waiting for the bus. He was bedraggled and had a black eye so swollen it looked like big purple lips had swallowed his eye. He was surprisingly nice, though talked of a life worn down by the pressure to fit in, of sleeping outside in the rain. I hope [...]

Also, please consider donating your family portraits to her for consideration of [...]

“Now if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing. You have to make the mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do. The body will always give up. It is always tired in the morning, noon, and night. But the body is never [...]
