What exactly did people do when they had all the time in the world and could do whatever they liked?

Life is like a bowl of spaghetti. Every once in a while, you get a meatball.

What I have since realized is that if people expect you to be brave, sometimes you pretend that you are, even when you are frightened down to your very bones.

Why do people not listen when you say no? Why do they think you are too stupid or too young to understand? Why do they think you are too shy to reply? Why do they keep badgering you until you will say yes?

You know, maybe that's all anybody wants, is to be useful. And have somebody else notice it.

how can you love a little cat so much in such a short short time?

I enjoy receiving and giving realistic fiction, for both children and adults, with strong characters, beautiful language, and humane visions.
