Let me carry that soiled and unwieldy pack – the one in which you carry all your pain. It stinks of mad seduction, of sorrows many, and, for all to see, it bears an ugly stain. Two shoulders make a burden lighter, friend. Here is mine, let’s do what we must do. Maybe one wondrous day we will cast it off! Drop it by the roadside and tell it we are through! "A woman is like a tea bag, you never know how strong she is until she gets in hot water..." Eleanor Rooevelt |

It stinks of mad seduction...it bears an ugly stain. Only a truly empathetic friend would offer to share such a burden. Well done! |

YES! Live for love. Without love, you don't live. |
