Scrambled cities: If you're not gonna do the work(on your soul), then you might as well work til you die

 There are two tiers in normal life. Those who are survive and those who thrive.  But nothing is a mistake in life: Nothing comes by chance. You have to prepare for it.  If you thought life was about making money and beating out the Jones's, you've lost already.  Life is: Desire for connection. All unhealthy competition is isolating.

This is me, and I'm quite lost still. Breathing somehow in the underwater gush of face-smother'ng foam of undersea cavern where you left me to die when last you left.

I'm still there, and I'm sorry that we couldn't have our life together.

Sincerely and forever, yours.
