I look the way I look, think the way I think, feel the way I feel, love the way I love! I am a whole complex package. Take me... or leave me. Accept me - or walk away!

If I need to change, I alone will make that decision.When you are strong enough to love yourself 100%, good and bad - you will be amazed at the opportunities that life presents you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20769</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[He has had only one close call, when he got his thumb stuck in the spokes of his mom's wheelchair ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30217]]></link><description><![CDATA[[He has had only one close call, when he got his thumb stuck in the spokes of his mom's wheelchair and it caused an under-the-nail blood blister.
