i don't want to quantify my life by how fat my paycheck is, how many miles i can run, how many beers i can drink. i don't want to count instances, rely on false perceptions of happiness that are fleeting. i don't want to pretend like everyone else, or worse, get so caught up in pretending that it becomes a real manifestation... that soon enough, pretending is all that i would ever know.

an adventure brews along the horizon.
