I'm trying to paint an underwater ocean scene. It's just not working. My queen angelfish is supposed to have these bright yellow eyes and electric-blue stripes along the edge of her fin. Instead, it looks like I'm trying to paint a fried egg with some blue bacon. Maybe I can pass it off as postmodern.

Susane ColasantiI canโt tell how much of our connection is because of the things we still have in common or the one thing that bonds us for life. But no matter what happens, I know I can totally count on Erin for anything. And she knows Iโd do anything for her.
Susane ColasantiThat's the tricky thing about being bonded to someone for life. Blake and his dad are bonded like I'm bonded with Erin.

It will always, in some way, define who you are.
