Friction Slipping Grit
I lost something in the process of getting to here. I'm going to recover it... or conjure up a better version of it. Because I refuse to miss out on the now, looking for something that I dropped. -
Funny Faces and Feelings
I'm feeling challenged and happy. I'm feeling beneficial to someone else. It's energizing, it's a feeling like flying in a new place and not adjusting to the winds as they sweep up, down, and across the new geography, so your first few moments are spent tumbling a little down a thermal or using up too much energy flapping up to catch a breeze.
