In that environment, you learn to see people for who they truly are, without the masks.

“And then it hit her...
I’m in love.

She closed her eyes and prayed to God to help her. She knew love was the greatest power in this world. Anyone who has felt that power has given themselves up to it. No one can defeat love. Not a single human being.”

The Game of Love”

“Life is as it is, not the way she wants it to be... take it or leave it.”
― Mara Jane, Life As It Is: Take It or Leave It

“I’m not here just for the money… but I do work here. And I have bills to pay.”
