I started caring less about bagging zeroes, and more about how I'd come to achieve them.
22) when will it wow me
I used up all my shock and awe and I'm just left with a lifetime of "so what else is new?"
21) oh so you
If I find myself 'agreeing' with a point from the enemy, does that mean I've become the only bad guy?
20) safe and secure, at last
I'm glad I found that inner protection again. Even when it feels like the entire world is against me, I'll know the truth because I discovered it first.
19) neat enough
The sooner I get used to the idea of cleaning house, perhaps the rest of the world will follow.
18) the goal of ego & awe
It takes a strong mind not to get a swelled head, and I'm not sure anyone is capable of that anymore.
17) you dumb bitch
Not all actions need Captain Save-a-Hoe to swoop in to make things into your version of right.
16) all too self-aware
They'd better hope that ray of self-awareness doesn't burn too bright when the curtains open and the sun finally shines in.
15) on the way up
I had to dive deep to find it within me to not only find a path forward, but upward as well.
14) the breaking point
Even that solid ground could give way at any moment.
