They say to
measure twice and
cut once.

These are wise words -
though I prefer to
measure more than twice,
just because.

You can live your life
in a similar way.
Weighing all the risks
before taking action,
making sure you do not
fuck anything up.

Then reality hits, and
you have fucked up anyhow.
But often worth it and
leads to some growing.

I tried this,
fucked up, and
am so much better for it.
Trying to exist
in the “norm”
never really
worked for me
with any success.

I may not have
made the right
measurements and
may have made
some wrong cuts, but
i am damn pleased
with the results of
Me.
