Creep away, my dear.

Quiet and sweet. I like that! I think it's a nice description of my life on most days.

And some days it's not, but I love those days too. Some days I ramp up my feeling like a bad MF. I love that feeling.

and wayfarer - these are not goals for when he goes. If you are truly interested in something like making some food goals, why can't you do them now? Really. It's true life will be different in a lot of ways if he goes. But the focusing on a project that you truly love can start any time, and boosts your confidence.

There are two quotes I've mentioned here in my threadnthat really drive me. They are:

"We have to create. It is the only thing louder than destruction" - A. Gibson (spoken word poet)
"The opposite of War isn't Peace. It's creation" - RENT

To fight against the destruction in your life you have to BUILD. Don't focus on the walls that are falling down - let them. Focus on making something else unrelated to that wall. Truly, it is what kept me calm and sane. Find art in your life.
