Zorica Stevic The things I want to do and feel, I find myself doing just the opposite. Especially that which I know I ought not do. I was scrolling through IG when I encountered the phrase "miracles become Administrative" and it struck me how relatable this was.

Artist unknown I am sure no one has escaped the saying "life is not a bed of roses", true, but what if it were? What does that even mean?
