jlh | Love is reason enough.

I am listening to a-ha while editing, as I often do, because they are melodic enough to motivate me but unobtrusive enough not to distract me. I just heard "Blue Skies" and there is this line: "I'm too young to take on my deepest fears" and I thought, not only am I not too young, but I have already started doing it and am well on my way. So the last decade hasn't been a complete waste. Good to know.
