“Most people are like a falling leaf as it twists and turns its way through the air, lurches and tumbles to the ground. Others though - are like stars set on a fixed course; no wind can reach them, and they carry their law and their path within them.”

What is your favorite season of the year?
I like summer the most, this is not a surprise I think, this is the season where I can lay on the sand and just enjoy the beach. Wear the best summer dress and shoes! I just love this. The natures so with the sunrise and sunset are just too spectacular to watch.

What do you do to avoid arguments?

July 31, 2014, 11:42:55 AM by nickraw

I'm a very straight forward person but most people I care around me are way too sensitive and it is always a disaster whenever we have conflicts between each other if we don't control.

I used to just take it and argue but now I just can't be bothered anymore. Neither of us will ever changed, and that's fine with me. Nowadays, whenever I get angry I will not say a word, I go out and take a walk, a long walk. I will keep walking until my anger fades.

How about you? What do you do to control yourself from being angry?
