These violent delights have violent ends<br /> And in their triumph die, like fire and powder,<br /> Which, as they kiss, consume. The sweetest honey<br /> Is loathsome in his own deliciousness<br /> And in the taste confounds the appetite.<br /> Therefore love moderately.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?&rdquo; -Marianne Williamson. Trying so hard to believe this but SO not succeeding&hellip;..
