Let's talk about fire for moment.
It's beautiful, is it not?
I'd watch those flames for days.
Just as they surround the structure.
It collapses into bright yellow and orange.
Small pieces of ash reach for the sky.
I know I hold the lighter.
But I can't imagine anything better.
Fire is dangerous and destructive.
It brings whole forests to their knees.
Devastates families and their loved ones.
Leaving behind red coals.
After the smoke leaves we can start over.
Clear away the debris.
Build something new on top of it.
That is what makes fire so beautiful.
Hold hands in the shadows of flames.
Watch while my childhood home burns.
Start all over again and find peace.
That's why I love talking about fire.

I see the world a little differently than most. Even at a young age I was writing down what I saw but never sharing it with a soul until now. I'm choosing love over fear.

Setting Boundaries
A relationship without boundaries is calamity waiting to happen. One of the biggest problems in every type of relationship known to man is a lack of boundaries. We need boundaries to have a healthy coexistence. If you don’t set boundaries you’re setting your relationship up for failure. What exactly is a boundary? By definition a boundary determines what is appropriate or inappropriate in a relationship. Without boundaries a relationship is destined for trouble.
