12) big city girl blues

I can't deny the call in my heart to always return home, no matter how much I feel like it lets me down.

11) the last of this

It's time to stop caring about the 'first' of things and work on raising our standards to where we see the last of it.

There's stuff going on, but my lure remains far too close to the shoreline to even feel a nibble.

I feel at this moment in time, it's more important than ever to never posture ever again.

I feel happier living in this live stream of consciousness instead of living with what I could have had in the past.

If it plants a seed about thinking twice before contributing to the grime, then I can walk away with a clean conscience.

I can acknowledge the missteps an character building moments, but I don't need to live with them as the norm.

I'm wondering if I should have just kept on living in the vastness of my comfortable disarray.

It's clear to me much of what has made us a working society has completely dried out.

It may not always be as evident, but I'm left with an earworm jingle that I just can't get out of my head.
