The Fly

For the last two years, I've struggled with a corrosive environment, inside and out, that has made writing this impossible.  Until I can escape it, I won't be posting.

A Christmas Carol

Failure is the opportunity to start again with more knowledge. -J. Sklep

I think lots of people have said that in one way or another. None on a mug or tasteful neck tattoo, but here's a fun fact speaking of necks: No one wants to suck on your ex-boyfriend's name.

Other than not getting a tattoo, here's what not to do—embrace a mistake. Examine it, learn from it, then bury it. Bury it so deep no future can excavate it and then plant a tree upon it, I don't do that. I wrap my whole soul around a mistake, and make it the symbol of my life. When really all it should amount to is the elimination of what doesn't work so what does work can be more easily found.

Here's a mistake I revisit, and never quite learn: I can't write and listen to anything with words.Yet , I continue trying while listening to the greatest possible distraction.
