Casey: motivation to be successful →
caseyelephant: I think my motivation to be successful
Overlaps in the realm of my moral imagination and simply proving people wrong.

Working on living
I’m working on leaving

One Chance
“One Chance” We have one chance. One chance to get everything right. We have one chance, one chance. And if we’re lucky we might. My friends, my habits, my family, they mean so much to me.
