And while all these responses overwhelmed me, they also made me think about inspiration; how it can strike the right cord in your heart,…
I don't know what people mean by, and how they find, the "right" person for themselves. He’s all the wrongs that could ever be but he’s the kind of wrong I’d choose over a million rights.
