Letting go of the Weight

Titanic is my all-time favorite movie. It’s a work of art, and it was wonderfully done from beginning to end. Not to mention, Leonardo DiCaprio was at his peak level of attractiveness during this time in his life and he definitely is one of the reasons I can’t get enough of it. That being said, even if he wasn’t in …

Most of us have this innate desire to fit in, and sometimes we are willing to do whatever it takes to make that happen… When I was in junior high, I had a group of friends just like everyone that age does. I wasn’t the most popular person, but …
