Well, that brought home an ugly truth. Ugly but necessary. Sweep over it and carry on Cel, you were truly a fool not to see it before now anyway. A product of my own inflated ego, no doubt.

Still, there is more to life than my own folly, well perhaps. In truth, passing conversations with random people bring home that perhaps I need not be quite so focused on everything that is not, and a little more focused on anything that could be. A little war of flowers here, a little spark of something interesting there. Surely even a bee and a mountain goat can manage to find something worthwhile to do.

Perhaps there is hope yet.
