Once upon a wondrous while ago, you and I ventured through life together. We climbed towering peaks, soared over treacherous trenches, braved this wide world with its unthinkable 

tasks. How good those times had treated us! How high I’d soared with you! 

But these times only last so long, yes. The world had more to offer than 

little old me, with my oddball personality and meager skillset. 

Of course you couldn’t be held back by the likes of me! 

You needed a navigator, not a dreamer. Someone 

who would bear the ship through heavy storms, 

someone who would meet these threats 

(yes, threats) head on. No longer 

could I tag along with you

(would being a different story).

So, naturally, I became

just another

dot

on

the

map.
