Importance of feeling important

¨Between 8 and 10, I began to think that what I had to say was actually important. We are talking world savior style, of course. By 21 I kept little notebooks with brilliant little musings, all lost now, of course.
But maybe what I had to say actually was important. As long as I still feel this, I can still make my curtain call, wouldn't you agree?¨
¨M-hm.¨
¨You're not listening to me, are you?¨
¨What's your problem, Lily? Can't you see I'm busy here?¨
 Of Course.
