Day 223, Quote…s…were overrated this week: Stress and Anxiety Coping Mechanisms This Week

"If you believe in something, believe it firmly." - Argo You know what's weird - photos.

Day 213, Quote 22: Trust Yourself
"Learning to trust is one of life's most difficult tasks." --Isaac Watts I like new things. They bring mixed emotions - excitement, fear, shock, joy.

Day 208, Quote 21: “How do you measure, measure a year?”
In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee.... Well, it's more like 518,057 pounds.

Day 179, Quote 17: “You’re halfway there”

Day 174, Quote 16: “I just don’t know”
What is good enough? At what point does being proud of yourself matter more than the pride others project onto you? I just don’t know. Me neither.
