These things look good on paper

Yes, these things look good on paper. They probably sound good when you read them off of a computer screen too. They're the kind of things that people always want to be able to say about their own lives. Yes, I've got a good job. I live in an interesting section of an amazing city. I'm constantly surrounded by culture, style, and history.

The only beast I've had to battle since I've gotten up here is myself. And hopefully, if I ever end up winning this fight, I might even be able to convince myself that these great things are enough to make even me happy.
