Enjoying Guilt
Posted in Attitudes on Nov 7th, 2010

Beauty’s Way
Posted in Quotes on Nov 5th, 2010

So we have been told that “I” am not what you think I am, and also not what I think I am. Who is in fact, the “I”, an “I? “I” began to observe in my journey lately, how truthful the statement (can’t really recall who made that statement though) is that everything that happens […]
