OPPORTUNISM

it’s clear.

MY mind, MY calendar, the sky.

I should take advantage of this.
what can I fill the emptiness with?

this is ridiculous.

why do I still feel such obligation?
whose requirements am I holding MYself to? MY OWN?

where did these chains even come from?

what’s the most OPTIMUM way to spend this time?
I must find
the MOST BENEFICIAL thing I could be doing RIGHT NOW!

nope. I reject that. the best thing for ME is to be.
to put it all down for now.

maybe if I practice this I can make it a habit?

DAMN IT! there it is again.
