No One Can Hide Forever But You Can Always Try

If you don't feel right about something - whether it's just you or with a partner, it's going to tear at you and drive you crazy.

I'm looking for one word to sum this up and who I am as well. Branding homework that burns in all the right ways is the idea. Just don't let yourself burnout.

So many people tend to judge themselves in the worst of ways and then call this the reputation they have with themselves or their self-esteem.

What one word sums this up: maybe "Mistake"....

So many people are beautiful and yet when that beauty flickers out according to society, shades of grey begin to fall and we take charge or let others pull the drapes.

Random notes on being yourself and totally real...

Children and Betrayal Bonds

Some day, maybe, there will exist a well-informed, well-considered, and yet fervent public conviction that the most deadly of all possible sins is the mutilation of a child's spirit; for such mutilation undercuts the life principal of trust, without which every human act, may it feel ever so good and seem ever so right, is prone to perversion by destructive forms of conscientiousness. - Erik Erikson
