My Friend, I know I might feel different to you, though I may sound the same. But isn't that funny how it goes?

Yeah. I can't place a finger on it. But you are certainly different. Am I different?

We all are always changing. Some accept it, others don't.

When looking for their house, Tom had one condition.

"I have to be able to drive to work in five minutes."

Lisa thought it was cute he still used the word "work". His company had recently been valuated at over 1.5 billion USD and so on paper the two of them were...

He spent much of his afternoons on walks.

Around campus and along the main strip. The early part of the day when he could nurse a coffee were his favorite part. Once the sun started going down feelings grew heavier within him. Have to find someplace that he can call... he...

D.W. spent much of their days on a computer.
