Yikes!
So I WAS TRYING TO SEND OUT SOME important emails but it seems like i'v spent all my.. energy. or the amount of it that will let me write coherent and forceful messages. so i guess i will have to wait until tomorrow.

we've been .. not here.. not necessarily or even gone.. just not here.. on this page.. this space.. in a particular way.

simmering down
maple syrup
cane

we've been getting to the good stuff

i just wanted to say that..

oh and i could say some other stuff. you know i don't have a linear brain.

i could talk about choice and fusion and voice and walking and saying no and yes and stepping out. i could talk about monsters, i mean the good kind , and people
and
like
staying up late
or waking up early or not doing stuff perfect
and doing stuff anyway and then still getting on the path or piece you were looking for

i could talk about not using your hands or your body to get what's necessary
i could talk about skipping steps
or not thinking about the steps at all'or flying over them

i could talk about not doing stuff perfect
i could talk about success right..
oh i could talk about a lot and i could talk about talking about it..

i could talk about the goal.. and yes what is the goal here.. and what is a correct post. and would it be cordial and nice..

should i just stop now..

or i mean.. or should i do one of the things, pull one of those things when you're hecka young and avant garde even to the other young people around you.. or feeling successful and looking successful should i pull one of those? self! (ahhh self is important here.. ahhh the self in the face or frame of .. celebrity enigmatic static.. i know i 'm being vague here) talking about talking about it? should i talk about it?
i think we need to talk about it (next time)
that seems necessary to the current conversation.

i feel like talking about it.
there's so many of us coming up right now.
celebrity stats?
ahhhh truth! truth! ahhh self! ahhh choice! ahhh! walk!

i survey. i survey. i look over. i /connections.

should i keep asking questions?
should i keep poking success and see who's gonna bestow it? (yes righ.. right)
say recognition?
qyestion recognition?

or should i, i don't know

i'm figuring it out. that's part of it.
that's part of it. that's part.

i won't hide that.
