LOST BOY DREAMING

It’s a Sunday afternoon. Lost Boy Dreaming by JP Cooper plays in my ears. And the lyrics speak for themselves:

“Just a young, dumb me with

skinny legs, two front teeth, and

some kind of strange belief that

I was here to do something real.”

It is a strange belief, isn’t it? Why me? And queue the listicle.

Why not me? Repeat. 

At this point I seem to find myself with the simple query of:

“Do you want to? Do something real?”

And the question has an easy answer. More often than not, yes, I do. 

Enough. 

Let’s do it.

PERSEVERANCE

Undated, 2021

---

I’ve never given up, I kept on.

I listened and I learned.

I’ve kept my head high and my eyes low.

Caring not one bit about talent.

Perseverance is what makes us great.
