Writing on a computer feels like a recipe for writer's block.

When you live for others' opinions, you are dead.

Charles de Lint

I'm pretty much fixated on certain themes. Family, but it's family of choice as much as family of blood. Individuality, yes, but not at the cost of others' happiness. Be true to your friends.
