Familiar ground, but not necessarily the same.<br /><br />-Lexa--I suspect 'outsider' is indeed one of those universal themes.<br /><br />-Donna--thank you!

You can't help your honest point of view, right? I don't think "the outsider" theme will ever go out of style. People always feel they're an outsider, an individual, special, so it's easy to identify with.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07735576044552810103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8281000668036619727.post-56639890599657756322014-03-05T08:04:28.782-05:002014-03-05T08:04:28.782-05:00Sometimes but the situation is different and every...Sometimes but the situation is different and every character's story is unique.
