Lovely. Who says etymology and linguistic history can't bring tear to your eye? My mother once knitted a lovely scarf for me while I was away on a trip; she felt like her loneliness and affection needed to be transmuted into something tangible.

I’m glad you found a job that makes you feel this way!

Good perspective (“Whatever you do..”),

revealing questions to try and answer.

I love the questions at the end. If I had asked myself those questions earlier in life, I could have avoided a lot of soul-sucking jobs!

I always love it when I see someone use hip-hop lines in their writing. Missy was one of my first loves in hip-hop.

As Nas also raps in the hit song, Hip-hop is Dead, hip-hop was his first wife. He makes love to it. Small wonder many call him the best rapper to have ever done it.
