I'm a littleeeeeee bit older, just a tad more than 48, but close enough.
You made me laugh.
That is exactly the feeling, walking around like an orphan or stranger in a
strange land. That is odd you said that.
I still get dreams with that very feeling, of feeling lost.
I used to walk around Manhattan feeling that way.
I'd have dreams of getting on the wrong bus.
Whoops, maybe I've said too much.
My name is Barbara which means, "a stranger in a strange land".
Hmm, how strange is that? or is it?
