I Built It

I built it

But nobody came

You can drive yourself insane

Following sound bites and Instagram wisdom

There are no easy roads

Certainly not here amongst the potholes

It’s good to set goals

But only in retrospect

For too lofty and you forever fail

Destined for disappointing

Too low and you stay slow

Unable to move on

Be strong and courageous

And remember why

In the first place, you began

Before the noise of awards and rewards

You want it because you loved it

Do you still?

Thoughts

I do like YouTube but it can be annoying. You know the way that you buy something online, then you keep getting recommended the same item? Well, do a search on YouTube and now that is all your feed will show. The problem is there are so many people giving advice that are clueless and you shouldn’t pay any attention to them. Easier said than done if you don’t know about the subject you are searching for.

Today’s picture: remember when this was all fields? What did the people and the country go through to get modern day Paris? You should look it up. It’s amazing.
