"how they get up and trade their breathing lives

for concepts and ideas, trade their fleeting lives for objects,

waste their little time on frivolous content — 

all stuff to fill the space that once occupied

their soul " - copy/paste

Simply incredible. Profoundly relatable.

You followed me. I excitedly went into your profile. I saw you are a poet. I am too. Sort of. Anyways. Thank you for sharing your work. Thank you for exceeding my expectations.

I don't know how you stumbled upon me, Franco, but I'm grateful you did! "Society pushes us in the direction of the boring, the unoriginal, and sometimes it feels easier to just cave and live a 'regular' life than pursue the dream lives we all would prefer but seem so elusive." That's been a lifelong on-and-off wrestling match for me. Both your words and your approach to "substacking" are encouragement at this juncture. Thank you!!! And now I know what tv show I need to binge-watch next -- after I binge-read your posts! 😊

Definitely it's great to meet you. Yes watch the Sopranos. It's amazing and surprisingly deep. It's a constant struggle but we must keep doing what we do.
