“Ambition is a difficult thing to quash completely and so it is redirected” (Yanagihara 72).
Idolizing an idyll without learned inherent ideals sets one up for a life of idle inclination. Forever becoming to only be stalled by the intimate battle of “what for” and “for what”; a life lost to the repeating beat of a common song. Trapped in place, but twice a day everything seems okay. How many run-arounds will it take to get to the center of a broken clock?
To redirect and re-route in activity, using past losses as rungs towards higher thrums, it’s here in this state where intrinsic ambition is born and activates. Where one works with time in tune of the phases of progression. Now ticking with zest to pursue the unknown, structured and steady and ready to commence upon a life only known off trail of the beaten round.
