How many times do we know someone that or something is bad for us but we cling on to it persistently because of force of habit?

A Little Respect!
We’re pushed around. We’re passed over. We change who we are, change what we want to be. And we blame everyone around us for the situations we are in.

The Seven Year Itch!

It might be just a thoughtless remark or an angryContinue reading “Just because they are family doesn’t mean they don’t have feelings!”

To the Haters
The growth of twitter and facebook and social networking in general have spawned a new breed of individuals- the HATERS. They are not experts in a discipline. They are not people wanting to critique or learn or create. They just want to destroy, hurt, hate. The hurtful comments are re-tweeted and commented upon byContinue reading “To the Haters”
