the world is not one simple thing,
a set of rules
or an algorithm to follow:
there are no governing principles,
except maybe
that you will be forced to love someone
eventually.
the world is one big beautiful greyspace,
a greenscreen against which
you can act out
the best and the worst of your personality,
all the adventures you desire;
there is no black or white about it.
the world is not
simple or sweet or easy or delicate,
and neither can you be:
but a thrillseeker, journeyer, risk-taker,
these things you must learn
if the qualities do not come innate.
