“I get it that no one can really understand what another person feels. But it’s the idea that chores or school or life don’t have to drag you down if you stick together. That’s what clicks with me. Or did. Too late to lose sleep over it now. Even”

A writer's dream, to contemplate a full shelf of books they've written and shared with enthusiastic readers. Thanks. Shine, you're no slouch yourself in the editing department. Waltzing Cowboys is much better for your close read.
