In future there will be a subject title followed by that strange combination of letters and numbers. Things I wish I’d known atContinueContinue reading “TIWIKA16”

Thinking About Beauty

This depends entirely on what you choose to behold. Those who believe in the best, seek the best, and see the best. Those who distrust the process of life, people, and the existence of happiness will subconsciously seek proof that they’re right. It’s all about attitude, perception, beliefs, and choices. We make those choices everyContinueContinue reading “Thinking About Beauty”
