I had never dyed my hair like that, and no one forgot me after that.
I would like to be known for honest, relatable writing and stories that that are real.

It's a presentation of your birthday-suit self.

Wait for those unguarded moments. Relax the mood and, like the child dropping off to sleep, the subject often reveals his truest self.
I feel like Christianity gets very misconstrued sometimes. People don't realize that every day is a normal day just like anybody else, but we're just trying to improve every day. It's not about putting anybody down or telling anybody they're wrong. It's more about trying to do what's right for your own self.

People who volunteer at the recycling center or soup kitchen through a church or neighborhood group can come to feel part of something 'larger.'

Donald Trump is a lost soul wandering this Earth. He's been led down the Willy Loman path and believes his own hype. He's serving his little self and his little ego; otherwise, why would he need to overcompensate so much?
