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. We live in an isolated-enough world already. This connection comes from a surprising place: Self-acceptance. A lot of us need to go back to the classroom.

If they want for me to be a nothing to nobody; a human vacuum, much less an island, I will persist on in the opposite direction. For that is the right direction.

But then it came to me that life is only as kind as you make it. 

I appreciate the person who can upend my thought processes. That's why I like Buk. 

The boss has not paid my salary yet. 

The landlord will be banging at my door in any second. 

But I don't even care if they deport me.
