Hey–
I really enjoyed your aphorisms, they were really insightful. My favorite was “When the going gets tough everyone needs someone to go to.” It is really uplifting, and just put me in a good mood when I heard it. Great Job!

I liked a lot of your aphorisms…. particularly “we tend to destroy the good things in our lives” and “different isn’t dangerous, it’s just different”

I thought you did a great job in creating the aphorisms. It was interesting to see how many emotions can be covered. I thought that “I’m hoping for the end yet fearing it at the same time” was interesting. This shows anticiptation yet insecurity. Good job!

hey, i ejoyed reading these! nice job. My favorite was “we tend to take out anger on those we love the most.” It is so true, I am so stressed out with school and working that I am constantly yelling at my parents when they call me and I don’t even realize that I am being a bitch.
