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.
Obviously, I like to be right. And I really like to be right in situations I can control.

Working on living
I’m working on leaving
I’m working on leaving the living
grass looks much greener but it’s green-painted cement
the mayor’s machines are there cleaning the pavement
you can’t make dirt clean so we’ll just lemon-scent it
