Billy's Adventures in Romania in The Mamaia Resort (Black Sea)
The last day. The seawater hugged his legs and caressed his ankles as if begging him to stay. For that second, before the tide returned its characteristic coldness, the seawater felt warm. Pleasure and pain, joy and sadness. Relief.

Mother Earth's Flower Vs Devil's Lettuce
I was once jealous of my, one day to be, ex-husband after he got his medicinal marijuana card. It was hard for me to fathom being able to walk into a store to purchase marijuana, almost as easily as milk and bread. How easy it has become!

They Better Never Give Me a “Dear Jason” Column
I found myself giving advice to my good friend the other day. I started thinking about how often I give advice to him and a handful of other online and real-life friends. I’m also apt to tell my kids what “I” would do in any given tough situation that they’re going through, mainly when asked.

Heart or Peace
Pain comes and goes but torture feels forever. You ride a wave but the tides never show. You become overwhelmed by what’s going on, and you can even realize how it became all wrong. Step after step you try to move forward, push yourself to do things, only to fall downward.

Tips For Fitness Trainers
There are several tips for fitness trainers to keep in mind, including developing a unique selling proposition (USP). It is also important to be open with clients and take notes during workouts. You should also make sure to be honest and remain objective when dealing with personal information. If you are not comfortable with your client's needs, it is best to transfer them to another trainer. Also, make sure that you are willing to give a trial session for free.

I couldn't make this up if I tried
If I had not experienced first hand all of the atypical and bizarre events that make up the peculiar story that is my life, I doubt that I would believe much of it to be true, and I would praise the creative mind that would be capable of conjuring such imaginative fiction. I would like to think that I possess the sort of original and inventive talent that the creation of such a story would require, but in reality, I don’t think I could make any of it up if I tried. My story is such that no one, upon listening to any part of it, is able to say that they had an experience that is even remotely similar to mine.
