106 Miles to Chicago

There is no try...

The feelings are quite mutual...

But it really comes down to me realizing that I haven’t put forth the effort one must to achieve one’s goals. Quite simply, I was lazy. There’s nobody to blame but myself. Maybe it took the rapid approaching milestone of turning three decades old for me to open my eyes and see that my dream of being a successful writer takes effort. There’s no way I’ll wake up one morning with my burgeoning dreams a reality unless I do something about it. Namely, I have to get myself doing the word dance when I have a free moment, rather than taking the easy way out and flipping on some mindless videogames or throwing on a movie.
