There are two kinds of stories, the ones you live and the ones you make up. And nobody knows the difference, and I don’t ever tell which is which Picture Quote #1

To stay in places and to leave, to trust, to distrust, to no longer believe and believe again,... to watch the snow come, to watch it go, to hear rain on a tent, to know where I can find what I want Picture Quote #1
