Tragedy

Triumph

There is no light without darkness.

⚡ When in doubt, chill out.

When it's hard to sleep, breathe deep.

You will cry, then fly!

    Hi Bill, my husband also has epilepsy, so I will definitely do a thorough read through your pages, although it may take some time. I’d be honored if you’d peruse mine as well. Thanks in advance!

    This was very haunting, and even though the truth sleeps there. I can't help but beat a little fasting inside my heart. The picture definitely sneaked the weight of the meaning below your words. Fantastic work, I am so impressed with this one🤗❤️
