Congratulations on your weight loss! Keep up the good work!! I too know what it's like to struggle with weight...I've lost almost 60 lbs and kept it off for 3 years so far. I'm still trying to lose another 20 or so but I'm stuck. I've come to terms with the fact that I'm probably at my natural weigh...

You can only be as free

Hi Jim! It's odd, but the closing line, always made sense to me because I thought it out in Spanish. This is the first time that it's been pointed out to me and I realize, it doesn't make sense in English. Thank you! So I've done away with the closing sentences, it looks as I want it to in English. ...

Under these silken stars of silver and chrome, I start to redefine what Life means to me in the circumstances of Now. The hollowed void of night illuminates my musings of fancied future truths and candied travels yet to be experienced. I lay on this rooftop with my imaginings of this new notion of n...
