Are Things Prettier in Pink?
Positive versus negative. Who would win in a fight? I spend a lot of my life thinking about energies in the world and the emotions that we're surrounding ourselves with. Someone who is depressed might be surrounded by dark emotions on dark days, but they're capable of all the positive emotions too.

Do you know what your birth chart says? Or, do you even know what a birth chart is? Your birth chart is based off of the time, location, and date of your birth.

Have I made the most fatal mistake of my life? After three successful years of university, I dropped out. I had a good reason (one that you don't really need to know about), but I was still surrounded by shame. I dropped out right in time for me to graduate.
