  Walking in Circles in Paradise

  Posted on June 18, 2009 by heyamaretto in 5 life, living

  I have two different ways of looking at life that are always warring in my head. It’s kind of a struggle between the feelings of predestination and destiny. In one sense, it feels like there is this path ahead of me, and as hard as I try to veer from it I keep circling back. [...]
