The Choice

[unmowngrass]

There's a story of a man who was chased off a tall cliff by some wild animals. Let's call them tigers. It might have been tigers. I remember it as being tigers.

*hugs*

You're welcome!

I don't recall hearing it at all before, but that's not terribly surprising -- my memory is poor enough that I frequently don't remember writing the things I find in my writing folder, and the only stuff that goes in there is the things I write. But I like the sense of you making it your own all the same. :)

*hugs*

Do you want to be level with your peers in terms of life position?

[unmowngrass]

You know, that is such a good question! I've been thinking it over for a few days, and I still don't have an answer. I'll get back to you :)

Thanks :)

... I think you're referring to considerably more money than I am. I'm just referring to enough to pay my own bills.

Sometimes, for me, it is as simple as taking a deep breath. Slows the pulse and relieves the anxiety of the hurry-hurry mode.
