99 is a good age to die, if you can stay reasonably fit to that age. One of the people I had in mind while writing was an old lady, family fried. I knew her well enough, but what I remember most vividly

That's why its always so important to tell people how you really feel. I am still struggling with this. Trouble is I'm coming from a family of introverts where we don't talk much about feelings. I also

I cannot even imagine how it is to deal with that much paperwork. I could do packing, if need be, but red-tape is where I draw the line. Good luck with the next steps!

As almost everybody on Youtube was commenting, he is home now. RIP.

That's what pretty much all who knew him say.

Happens to the best of us, I'm afraid.

There’s been such a meteoric rise in mental illnesses and physical disease of all kinds in the past fifty years. The rise in mental issues could also be a good sign. Given that we are living in a sick

So happy I got tagged to read this wonderful story. Fantastic! Somehow it resonates with something I was reading the other day, about the moment when the universe was just one big mass, before things were

Sometimes I struggle with his books🙂 I've heard about that us being in a cosmic hole theory... maybe there are others trapped in the same place.

The only thing that would change if we all suddenly spoke the same language would be we'd be capable of understanding one another's slurs. Thank God the train guy in Budapest did not understand the slurs.
