I'm ever curious about the world.

Time doesn't really heal, it just makes you not to give a crap
running people soul
You know what kind of person it takes to run for President? Not normal. They could start out okay, but by the time they reach that level they've sold their soul to the devil so many times and stomped the guts out of enough people that they are definitely not like you and me, not even close.
trying labels world

book writing years
Some people take 10 years to write a book and some can do one in under a year.

It's hard, Cotton. To let yourself love something you know you may never have.
