I am no longer sure of myself, and the paintings appear as in a dream. " - Vincent Van Gogh " I’ve always liked texts that you immediately understand.

All these kissing the badge, just doing it for the clout. " - Micah Richards " My husband and I had recently been in a car accident, and I came out of that experience with more clarity about my career and the energy to continue to pursue it hard, no matter what the challenges.
