Arizona Dream

Leo Sweetie

Every child wants their parents to stay together. It's a basic survival instinct. And when they split, the child wants them to at least be friends. Some are able to do this, some are not.

We do not choose to be born. We do not choose our parents. We do not choose our historical epoch, the country of our birth, or the immediate circumstances of our upbringing. We do not, most of us, choose to die; nor do we choose the time and conditions of our death. But within this realm of choicelessness, we do choose how we live.
