Daily Prompt Question of the Day<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this day an age of self-centeredness. where it’s easier to run and hide like a ghost over our own misunderstandings and fears, I would have been my ghost’s best friend and still would.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’d be her confidant, a pal and companion for her to commiserate with over life’s twists and turns. If only she’d go where the love is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
Go where the love is<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

But this generation has changed the world in the likes that we have never been seen. It needs, IMO, more individuals helping individuals struggling through life and to learn better communication skills which are always the key to success. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a strange analogy, I would’ve been her Eb, ala Green Acres. Always misunderstood but loving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
