The Comfort Of Another's Words.

E.E. Cummings said: "To be nobody but

help you along. There are so many pressures in our daily lives, pushing us to
abandon, who we really are, to "fit in" with
everyone around us...forgetting that if we live our lives trying to "fit in"...it's a sign that we may have left our authentic selves behind. Today I thank Mr Cummings for his
