Ight word!
Well that was fun
You got a little knowledge
Shifted a few paradigms
All that good stuff.
Word.. Well I’m about to be out
Umm.. It was fun!
I really feel like we got to know each other
But we both know the inevitable truth..
Eventually this is going to stop
Eventually it has to repeat itself or just stop..
It can’t last forever
…this is actually a good metaphor to life
All good things must come to an end
It’s important though that you understand the powerful lesson behind this
It’s truly not about the destinations
The key is to live every little possible moment
…or in this case, read every single line of text to the fullest
Because this seconds never come back
The here and now is the greatest gift
The ability to seize the moment..
The ability to smile no matter what the circumstances
VUse this thing we call “now” to make life whatever, I you, or she/he, want’s to be.
And on that note… I’m otty
It was very fun
But unfortunately the our still finite.. For now anyways
But yeah.. Deuces!
I’m really gone this time,
You can actually look at my portfolio
either way..
I’m about to make this move!
