This guy Levi, went through the hardest kind of life growing up and even into his adult life. He moves in and out of deep emotions and gets his final answer about the reason for his existence. He can waste away inhaling and expelling each steadily depleting breath, because that’s what we have, an ever diminishing supply of breaths, then you die!
Or you can start savoring the very essence of your existence and start writing down your own Moped Diaries, which comprised, every experience of ups and downs, which was you. And when a totally confused writer from your distant future comes across the ancient tome of zeros and dashes, also called digitization, and finds that mystic place indexed as The Writer Called Levi, or whatever you were called, during your stay, will he find that powerful inspiring force of a true writer or a bunch of halfhearted and incomplete, wimpy sorry attempts at writing.
Have at it right here! Watch Levi’s Moped Diaries, hop on your moped and write, right, right now!

Love the way you expressed your opinion. This was a nudge for me to keep journaling about my ups and downs. One day maybe it will help someone out there. Thank you!
Dear Carol, I am merely sharing my own demons with whomever can identify or resonate with them. Then, on the other hand, perhaps it was a psychic call from your, what the French call
“Votre essence” your essence or soul reaching out to me to be a conduit for you. Who can tell? Thank you, as always, for reading my stuff.
I accept it from whatever venue I can, if it helps, and your writing usually does Andre. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
