I asked.Mental health I guess, Hayes said laughing, It helps me to get this out, it helps me to connect with people.He says through his writing he tries to find the essential, universal truths of being human.Were all the same We just want to live and we want to love and we want to be left alone.The book is the result of prompts Hayes followed - which included things like time - and he shared some of passages from the book with me.There's time for everything until time runs out, until the end intervenes, now its something to cry about, read Hayes.He told me the experience he wishes readers would have I just want them to enjoy it.Stay in Touch with Us Anytime, Anywhere: Download Our Free App for Apple and Android Sign Up for Our Daily E-mail Newsletter Like Us on Facebook Follow Us on Instagram Subscribe to Us on YouTube
