Doesn’t it sound like a quote for losers to you? It’s ok to wait, things happen for a reason, keep calm and dream on.. In all my appraisals, one word would always … Continue reading Good things come to those who wait, but better things…

The (non existing) Great Divide

Today’s daily prompt: When reading for fun, do you usually choose fiction or non-fiction? Do you have an idea why you prefer one over the other? *** Do you know the meaning of fiction? It is “literature in the form of prose, especially short stories and novels, that describe imaginary events or people”. Doesn’t it sound like an invitation to travel to you too?
