Monitoring Quotes - Page 3

• Somewhere in my early twenties I realized I was pretty constantly monitoring myself, judging how I was always falling short, whether it was about not being a good enough daughter or friend, or my appearance, or whatever.

• Well, I think here there is some money gathered, especially in Europe, through the web, through connection to a network.

So I mean you can imagine how easy it is to raise money through the net.

No, not one.
