I write as a way of life: stories, blogs, articles, almost-poems. I'm a freelancer, a vegetarian, and I listen to Leonard Cohen and enjoy French films. We are dying a little more with each new day we live, so shouldn't we make the most of our time?

I am blessed with so many invisible gifts that i I probably would not appreciate yours. But, do you accept invisible comments. If yes, please ignore these words. They have been wrapped in bandages.
Of course I will tell them about you. I actually found your site through a link on another site that I frequent late at night. That’s where I think your quote will be so helpful. Thank you for letting me borrow it.

Clever Randy, Randy clever. I like this comment.
I like your sight… I mean site. Thanks
No no I mean my own comment. I haven’t seen yours. Cheers!

That’s too sad, too painful to like.
I agree…
How about you like the idea behind the story and its execution rather than the content? 🙂
To tell you the truth, I did not like this one either. Nevertheless, I wrote it.
Sad, but it did happen.
Yes, I think I do like that.
I read it again. That story really hurts.
I hope that girl gets a special dose of wonderfulness from life!
A charming prince might marry her.
This story made me cry, but it was still so beautiful.
There is much beauty in sadness.
Water a flower with your tears, and it will grow beautiful.
May I borrow this quote? I know many survivors who may love to hear something so beautiful.
Of course, but do tell them about me!
