My name is Maryfelix, I am on a road to self-discovery and acceptance. I've recently awakened from a dormant stage in my life and have found that I can be as strong and brave as I let myself be. Working a full-time job, taking care of a family and pursuing my dream to help the voiceless in this world that fall victim to all sorts of injustice and inequalities is no more but a mere glimpse into what makes me who I am.

This is my biggest and most challenging goals in life, the rest...bring it, I'm ready.

Sometimes an emotional and mental blow can weigh and hurt a ton more then a …
Now I’ve never been shy about the fact that I would be all up for going under the knife for the sake of vanity. I had previously written a post on my site about this that I would like to share with the BHD family. I would love to hear what you guys have to say about this. Here is the post (BTW- this was supposed to be part of my 12 days of Christmas wishlist):
Day #6:
OK so I had to change the name up a bit considering that Christmas …
