I do hope that the new Ouija board models include emojis

The hardest battles I've ever fought were between my values and my actions.

Call it cognitive dissonance or hypocrisy, rest assurred I got back what I deserved.

Some lessons were particularly painful yet I am grateful for each one of them.

Life is just so interesting...

every field of human knowledge - from Math to Psychology - offers a different light under which we can interpret the world

and there are so many angles, so many perspectives, and dimensions

and so many opportunities to make a positive difference

It's mind boggling

Your absence has allowed me to grow new flowers.

There should be a maximum number of problems you're allowed to have

There comes a day when you realize turning the page is the best feeling in the world, because you realize there is so much more to the book than the page you were stuck on. Zayn Malik

I don't like the concept that "we all have 24 hours".

I am very happy today!

Of course me being me, that's not enough. I had to understand "why" am I feeling happy 😬

I have so many reasons to be grateful...

Semantically speaking, Spiritually feels like "love" to me. It's one of those words that will have different meanings to different people.
