ANGER: feeling, emotion, being

27 OF 30 DAYS (3 min audio read on Medium @FLO Mystic) The voice is getting louder.

I See You

19 OF 30 DAYS (2 min audio read on Medium @FLO Mystic) These 3 words are transformative and transcendence. I fell in love with Avatar 14 years ago when the first movie was released in 2009.
