Cassiopeia's View Been underestimated my entire life

"There is not much fun, when you are out on your own in the wilderness doing your best to survive," Lele replied with a shrug. It occurred to her that it might have sounded as if she was belittling the very idea of fun, which was not true. She had simply stated the facts of her life at present moment. She lived one day at a time, going through a list of routine things in order to keep painful memories at bay. Her goal was to find a way to move forward.
