For every five well-adjusted and smoothly functioning Americans, there are two who never had the chance to discover themselves. It may well be because they have never been alone with themselves. ↗

I coach my daughter's softball and basketball team. We go to all the school functions. We go out to eat at night and take the kids to the movies. We try to be as normal as we can. ↗

I write in order to attain that feeling of tension relieved and function achieved which a cow enjoys on giving milk. ↗
