Disfluency can be a symptom of sickness, disorder, and even pathogenesis, but it doesn't have to be. Like much in life, the final edit reflects much in the way of curation. Extracting what doesn't fit, is entirely up to us, and reflects healthy self-image.

Otherwise, in AVOIDING our failures, by simply rewriting history, we instead INVALIDATE essentially our very being. Contact Us: [email protected]; TheWORDHouse.Com; or 304-523-WORD (9673).

"I would do anything for LOVE, but I won't do that . . . ." So goes the lyrics to the song of the same name. But would we?
