For a long time I had been feeling frustrated and unfulfilled artistically, mainly because I’m not as successful as I want to be yet. And if I’m honest, I was allowing my emotions of frustration to surpass and trip up my efforts for progression. It’s hard to be at odds within yourself and expect momentum to happen. It doesn’t.
When was the last time you were lost?
regretted; regretting
2: to be very sorry for
And I got a quarter and some pennies. My mother in law, Momma T, was in town and came to spend some time with Haris, so I could go have some time for myself to write and do whatever.
Doesn’t everyone. But just because everyone can pass gas at dinner, doesn’t mean anyone should. Yes, I know it’s natural, complaining, gas is too, but everything natural isn’t good/necessary.

It’s been said there will never be a revolution in America, because we’re all too comfortable. How are comfortable are you? Sure you may want more money in your bank account, or to have or do, this or that. But are you too comfortable to change? Or maybe to scared? So who are you?

Is it that the idealist dreams, and always hopes for more,
And that the realist accepts things as they are, and continually moves forward?
Now of the two, which is living?
One chasing, one settling, both could be depressing without contentment.
Which is the way to live?
Can one be a realist in a constantly changing reality?
Can one be an idealist in an obviously flawed reality?
If an idealist means one who is hopeful about reality,
then I am an idealist.
If a realist is one who accepts reality and sees the possibility of change,
then I am a realist.
Or perhaps I need not the categorization of either terms.
Simply this is who I am, and accept that reality is my perception towards it.
