"Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage."  Lao Tzu When I was a kid, there was a short time I lived my granny, my granddaddy and one of my older cousins. I was particularly close to this cousin, because we spent years of our lives playing Barbie dolls and later years of our lives trying to write horrible romance novels together. You may be wondering why we chose romance novels, well, this is because in her library of books she read nothing except romance novels. She had hundreds all over her room and since this was the only thing in the house to read most of the time, I read them as well. This is where I began to learn what lust and love were according to fantasy rather than the typical way through watching Disney movies.

Does anyone remember the movie Man of the House with Jonathon Taylor Thomas? I promise you that was the sexiest rain dance any human being has ever done. In matters of truth and justice, there is no difference between large and small problems, for issues concerning the treatment of people are all the same. - Albert Einstein Remember when you were a kid and the only problems you had included one, many or all of the following problems: Mom or dad won't buy me that awesome toy I want I want a freaking car, but babysitting doesn't pay enough I like him/her, but she doesn't like me back I finally have a girlfriend/boyfriend, but they want all my candy Why isn't there enough freaking candy? Now that you are an adult you see that there are real problems in the world such as: Mom or dad won't buy me that awesome toy I want I want a freaking car, but babysitting (job choice here) doesn't pay enough I like him/her, but she doesn't like me back I ...
