“I have but one life, and I will not disrespect the infinity improbability of my existence by squandering it daydreaming about what could have been.

Only a big life, a life filled with adventure and effort and passion, will be large enough to hold love and keep it burning, without crumbling under its weight or being consumed by its fire.”

Feels good yall

What hurts more, the pain of hard work, or the pain of regret?

I don’t know what happened, but I’ve started doing nice things for people again. I used to all the time, and then I stopped for a spell. I don’t know why I did. It feels good

Once the game is over, the king and the pawn go back in the same box

But then came the day
I climbed out of these safe limbs
Ventured away,
Walking tall, head high up and singing
I went to the city
Car horns, corners and the gritty
Now I am the proudest monkey you’ve ever seen



Then comes the day
Staring at myself, I turn to question me
I wonder, do I want the simple, simple life that I once lived in well?
Oh things were quiet then
In a way, they were the better days
But now I am the proudest monkey you’ve ever seen
