I was in a wreck Tuesday and my car is totaled. And, true to form of my luck, the property settlement from insurance falls well short of what I still owed on the car note. So I get to pay now for a car I no longer have.
BUT, this will work itself out. I know it will. I was down yesterday after finding out my car's being totaled, but I'm back up. This is not the year for staying down.
Did I just say that? Certain people would be proud.
Anyhow... This is a setback, yes, but I have too much going on right now to stay back. I had a week off from the open mic and tutoring. It's time to get back to business. There are poems to be written, poems to be performed, students who need help, and a world to conquer.
AND, the same day I was in the wreck, I got an unexpected raise. Once again, "the bruises and the beauty of this moment." It all comes together somehow.
Signed,
Bouncing back more quickly than ever before

Get your head out your dreams, they would say
Shot me down time and time again
Stubborn boy, he refuses to change
Ooh, catch a cloud, but
You can't keep me down
