I sit here by the dim candle light, with no sound but the deafening tick of the grandfather clock. Tick, tick, tick. And no comfort in this cold, colorless world....

When you long with all your heart for someone to love you, a madness grows there that shakes all sense from the trees and the water and the earth. And nothing lives for you, except the long deep bitter want. And this is what everyone feels from birth to death.

My mom always told me happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down &#039;happy.&#039; They told me I didn&#039;t understand the assignment and I told them they didn&#039;t understand life.
