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.
