Happiness

1. I've hoped for so long. It was futile. So, so long hope!
:D

If one is not loved, one cannot love in return. Fuck you, George Sand. Unless you'r related to Jan Brady's bogus boyfriend, George Glass...

7. Nope. If I can't see it, I do not know it is there. Just like faith. And hope.
And not that ghastly ABC TV show either...
