to whom it may concern: please phone me for appointments when you want to see me. I will not answer unsolicited knocks upon the door. I need time to do my work. I will not allow you to murder my work. please understand that what keeps me alive will make me a better person toward and for you when we finally meet under easy and unstrained conditions.

I walked around the block twice, passed 200 people and failed to see a human being.

...the free soul is rare, but you know it when you see it - basically because you feel good, very good, when you are near or with them...

Beauty is nothing, beauty won‘t stay. You don‘t know how lucky you are to be ugly, because if people like you, you know it‘s for something else.

I felt like crying but nothing came out. it was just a sort of sad sickness, sick sad, when you can't feel any worse. I think you know it. I think everybody knows it now and then...

If you're losing your soul and you know it, then you've still got a soul left to lose.

DebinHawaii Love! ❤️👍🖋📚 8y
Kirstin @LisaJo @Alma -Yay! I'm not alone! 😃Alma- copy/paste just doesn't have the same authenticity. They need to be hand written. 📝🖋 8y
