I am in a state of self-doubt. Maybe it’s because it is almost Valentines day; therefore I’m feeling cynically alone again or because I am losing faith in ever finding someone in this universe I could be with… Have I become redundant and boring as I age ? Have I lost my sense of adventure and excitement? Quietly I seep into solitude...who will save me from myself ? The only one I know who is capable of such a feat is staring back at me in the mirror…

“For last year's words belong to last year's language and next year's words await another voice.”
T.S. Eliot“A little integrity is better than any career” Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Living with integrity means: Not settling for less than what you know you deserve in your relationships. Asking for what you want and need from others. Speaking your truth, even though it might create conflict or tension. Behaving in ways that are in harmony with your personal values. Making choices based on what you believe, and not what others believe.”
Barbara De Angelis
