“Thinking about the journey I have been on and why I might be here in this lifetime. I’m here to not repeat patterns. To not live on other people’s terms, but on my own terms. To stop trying to please everyone at the expense of myself. So here I am, to find me, and then I freak out. What? Did I upset you? It’s fucking scary. Fucking scary to take a baby step in that direction. To reveal myself? To not look in the mirror or take an iPhone selfie that will expose the inside? But this is what it takes to be my best. In this lifetime, to bare my naked soul and my scarred skin. You can love me or hate me. Or be somewhere in between. But I am who I am. We all have many scars from just living. From living life, feeling love, hurt, loss, pain. Maybe instead of hiding those scars this time I can turn them into beautiful tattoos of experience on that naked skin.”

“Most of the books of erotic poetry available today are either too old or are big anthologies covering the same poets and poems. There is a lack of new and original work. Most of us have read something from Ovid, Sappho, Shakespeare, the ancient Greeks, the Romans, or from the Kama Sutra. But love is a theme that should be celebrated with freshness.”

“Jusqu’au XXe siècle, dans les sociétés agricoles, entre un quart et un tiers des enfants n’atteignaient jamais l’âge adulte. La plupart succombaient à des maladies infantiles comme la diphtérie, la rougeole et la variole. Dans l’Angleterre du XVIIe siècle, 250 nouveaux-nés sur 1 000 mouraient dans la première année, et un tiers des enfants mouraient avant d’avoir 15 ans. De nos jours, 5 % des enfants anglais meurent la première année et 7 % avant 15 ans.”
