Alone, Not Lost
There comes a moment when you realise you feel alone even when people are around you. A realisation that even though there are many people around, no one can take your place in your life.

Do you have things like that, too old, unfit, but loved anyway? My mom said, “If I’d tossed them earlier, you wouldn’t feel this bad,” and… she might be right. If… Continue reading
