IT'S MY BIRTHDAY! And as promised, here are some gems I picked up during previous years: 2019 - Just because you're good to others doesn't mean they'll be good to you. Just because you love them doesn't mean they'll love you, and honestly…they're not obligated to. A decent person would reciprocate sure, but a decent … Continue reading [WID0087] Guest Post by Kemuel: It’s My Birthday!

In the darkness of the nightWe see the planets, moon and starsWe see the limits of our sightAnd realize how small we areIn the light -- during the dayWe see the sky, the Sun, it's raysAnd forgetting our placeFail to consider our waysSo why fear the dark?Why shy away?For it seeks but to teachUs to … Continue reading [WID0068] Guest Post by Kemuel: “Unnamed”
