Call me Ishmael

No… call me Mo.

Big Mo.

My story… 

Well… my story is as old as the sea.

I went overboard… during meals and with snacking.

I went overboard… at parties and after-work get-togethers.

I went overboard… thinking “Where’s the harm?” or “Why not do what I want?”

I went overboard, thinking that I could always swim back to safety.

Now I feel like I’m drowning and I don’t know if I can make it back.

But I’m going to try.

"If you want to build a ship, don't drum up

people to collect wood and don't assign them 

tasks and work, but rather teach them to long

for the endless immensity of the sea."

–Antoine de Saint-Exupery
