Understanding the essentials

Sometimes we wind up so absorbed in ourselves that trying to cope with the present we miss the world. I have been visiting a friend, post-surgery in Charing Cross.
It is a complicated set of feelings. There are girls awaiting surgery, some of whom are crapping themselves, there are those who are doing their best to be positive, there are those who want to run, and under it all lie the voices of the girls who simply answer THAT question.
BECAUSE. Because it's who you are.
