The Common Man
The common man survives quietly.He rises before the sun has decided what kind of day it will be.

SOUL-SKIN
Have you ever felt like you know something about yourself intrinsically but didn’t know it on a conscious level? Then one day, a day like the many that have come and gone, you have a self-realized moment. In that moment, it is like someone switched the light on and a revelation fell from the sky.…
