Push
Transcedental life looked at.
A Person With An Inferiority Complex
Dealing with a person who has an inferiority complex. Not an easy thing as they tend to be so negative that they suck the sun right out of the sky.Being acquainted with such a person who is an employee (He's going to be looking for another job because of his attitude and behavior towards the other wranglers. I hate to do it, but I have to think of their well-being first).The "stories" he tells are unreal. Putting into words their attitude towards life and how they treat others. It's not a good thing.

Beware of Serpents
I am the archetype. Pedestaled forever with a label Which reads “Woman - Sin”. What fairness? Pale as though marble, the Serpents crafted my brow from Dirt; they should have eaten it. Beauty herself posed for my image, and J

Who Looks Back In The Mirror?
I'm a broad advocate of "who gives a rip what they think of me?" Why? Because honestly, bravado can be a thin veil and it doesn't take much to peek under the surface and find layers of someone seeking attention for whatever reason. It's about accessing ourselves honestly, not with obnoxious behavior because one thinks it can bring them all the things they hope for in life. Do life with confidence, look at it maturely and leave your ego at the door. Go after what you want in life, but do it with dignity. :)

After the War
The real extent of the damage is never known until the haze of war has cleared and all is revealed. The real nature of the enemy can be shocking and the damage so much greater than realized while numbed and poisoned. Only after the divorce do you really know just how deep was the dagger in your back.
