This is just an explanation of why I am like I am, and why I publish so many pieces on Vocal. I am sure psychologists and psychiatrists will have a field day.
The music is "Frontier Psychiatrist" by The Avalanches.

I had never heard that song before...my favorite part, "you're a nut!" But you are a good nut....and that's okay to be :)
Yes, always keep moving and make sure it's always forward hehehehe. Loved your poem!
In my head canon, the line "I Will Never Sow Discord" is immediately followed by "Nor Join It" as I believe you are also among the conscientious Discord objectors π€
I love the fact that you are not afraid to dive inwards and then still pull out something very positive. Learn from the backwards, but always keep moving forwards. Love this, Mike!
Moving forward us a positive and your poem is very uplifting and inspiring!!!β€οΈβ€οΈπ
Keep on moving forward. Well done.
Awesome work Mike , one day I will be on your list of creators ! Your a role model man , keep up the good work.
Keep moving forward Mike and don't look back. We like to read your works, it makes my day to see your name pop up
Good one. Really though sometimes you have to go back to go forward but even that is hard to do.
