"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us."

I write. I drift. I walk more than I drive. I drink a lot of coffee. I'm a student when I feel like it. I'm social when I'm lonely. I'm a good friend to those who earn it. I am absent passion but full of rage. I ramble. I drink. I have unpaid bills. I enjoy. I appreciate. I gamble. I realize. When added together its life defined as participation for lack of a reasonable alternative.
