Ardent-Reflections

This is just a place to share inspired writings, mostly written by others but I will share some of my own (tagged #mine). I also have an interest in Philosophy and poetry and self-help/self-improvement books. Basically 99% of my posts are queued, but I rarely repost things. . 💜Deeply in love💜

F. Scott Fitzgerald

[ardent-reflections]

I am not well. I could have built the Pyramids with the effort it takes me to cling on to life and reason.
