the internet is absolutely packed
with everything

with hatred and inspiration and foolishness and memes
and i saw
once
a piece of advice that said
[approximately]
<>

and i think about that
from time to time

because we never know what we’ll end up being
to someone else

and, though i can’t imagine my writing
being someone’s absolute favorite, i can see it
impacting
in a way i didn’t imagine

and for that reason

i suppose

i’ll keep going.
