i can be the bad guy, i can admin that, walking away, yes i did, i walked away, steps away, stepped away, decisions made, long before i turned away, but in the end, i turned away, i ran away, i went away. for all the posturing, all the pondering, all the whining and pining that i do, i'm the bad one. for all that i say, i'm left with what i do, what i did, which defines who i am, who i wish to be, and who i was. where did the emphasis on action arise? vs words? long before? fundamental? in the formative years? yes, i do believe so, don't think i ever read it in a book, heard it in a conversation, but alas, i walked away. i did.
