I don't want to find myself sighing and frightened,
or full of argument.

I don't want to end up simply having visited this world.”

Keris Oh well then that makes sense :)

Keris You're welcome! And thanks for your interest in my book. I threw my diaries away when I left home. But first I scribbled over them and glued the pages together. Paranoid, much? ;)
