We were laughing, I think. Or maybe we weren't. Maybe they were laughing; maybe I was too. I can't remember. It's not important. It was a long time ago, anyway. Not so long ago, a few years, perhaps, or last week -- I forget the details. We were laughing. And then we weren't. It's strange … Continue reading Little Moments
Feelings and Emotions
Letters
Everyone has thoughts. Everyone has feelings and emotions, mountains of things that go on in the world around them, universes of things that happen in their heads.
