And I really wish that somebody at that time had told me: “You know that it’s OK to be who you really are.“”
A merger. Like champagne and potato chips.
Mass delusions are as old as I am.
I was there when the Martians invaded in 1938. What a panic. P o w e r f u l panic. Now there are starmen waiting in the sky.
They b e l i e v e d it was true, and it was.
Sometimes looking for extreme possibilities makes you blind to the probable explanation right in front of you.
