very warily at first, but now my mind is out of the org.. i was raised in it and never would have dreamed at looking at internet sites for fear of being misled.

When I stopped hanging out with drug addicts and alcoholics, I stopped being both. Also, being in a happy mutually fulfilling relationship, helped a bunch.

i love inspirational quotes.

i read through them from time to time and i always feel better after sharing the thoughts of yesterday and today's greatest minds.

"if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with success unexpected in common hours.

The truth that many people never understand, until it is too late, is that the more you try to avoid suffering the more you suffer because smaller and more insignificant things begin to torture you in proportion to your fear of being hurt. - Thomas Merton

California to abolish civil marriage?

by BurnTheShips in

separation of marriage and state?

big thumbs up!.

the back-and-forth over proposition 8, which amended californias constitution to define marriage as between one man and one woman, has generated plenty of debate, heat, and threats and now a new initiative to change public policy on marriage altogether.
