"It's funny. When you leave your home and wander really far, you always think, 'I want to go home.' But then you come home, and of course it's not the same. You can't live with it, you can't live away from it. And it seems like from then on there's always this yearning for some place that doesn't exist." - Danzy Senna

To rise from the dramatic nothingness of elitist pessimism,

The first spring leaf to overcome the cold of winter's choke-hold!

What fun! what joy! what wonder!

Your only flaw the unbearable amount of exclamation marks you encourage!

To be so terribly hindered by your one flaw!

by a dot and a dash!

A mark of punctuation!

What a thing!

To be utterly defeated
