'Absolutely, Gabe. Trust me. Right a bit more.'

It's amazing what becomes #achievable once you decide that it is. Dreams become goals. Yesterday's goals are today's reality. Tomorrow is determined by what you believe today.

No one asked if it was #achievable, I just went and did it
If you take initiative anything is possible and this proves it
Sure it was difficult and I messed up a few times sewing the back, but it was worth it
It only took 5 people to make the skin suit and it fits like a glove

Wow! Isn’t it incredible what can be achieved with just one word! Which leads me on to ask, what next?
What about this goal, is it right for me?
Is it too challenging or too easy?
Have I unlocked my potential?
Is it achievable?

No #measurable amount of blood will fix this
Death is the only way
Annihilation of the entire city block is a good start
Let's hope that's enough to appease the deity you've angered

The river by my feet
#measurable in its motion
Where it goes i could not say
But I imagine mountains and hills
Swaying up and through
By towns and villages
On it the people do flow
Then further it goes out
To the sea then far away
Around this world
Then back again

“I will accompany the boy to his stations to keep him safe and on track," says my mentor.
“OK, but be aware, Zorla expects #measurable results. You may share in his punishment if he gets out of line or does not meet expectations.”
Great. As if I needed more pressure.
