No Pain, No Gain!

-

You have to exert yourself vigorously,
Stretch some more,
Walk out of your comfort zone,
Do hard things.

It may come with pain,
Aches, unsure moments,
Sleepless night,
Fears and worries,
You just have to swallow the pain,
Because, eventually, it will pay off.

Consistency while at it is the aim,
Determination and focus,
To finish the race.
Remember, No pain, No gain!



Thank you for stopping by, till we meet again, this is Amie Geoffrey.

No bride ever joked with this waist bead as her attire is never complete without the waist beads. Any man who seeks her hands for marriage...

The Birthday depression is knocking at her door. Debbie couldn't help but lay low in her bed to cry her eyes out, immediately her phone buzzed, it was a message from Jane her friend.

This article is not about Amanita Muscaria, but as you read further you'd understand the need for the comparison. According to the  oxford language dictionary , toxicity means the quality of being very harmful or unpleasant in a pervasive or insidious way. Are humans toxic? Yes!
