It's not enough to be free to do.
I cannot feel free when bothered by you.
It's not personal. It's not! I swear!
I just that freedumb can't be fully fair.

Can Settling For 'Good Enough' Lead To Increased Satisfaction?

The Saticficer's Motto
by Rachel Hoyt

I know I cannot have it all.
I know "the best" bounces and falls.
I know that wants differ from needs.
I know I can control my greed.
I know that 'good enough' is grand.
I know contentment can be planned.
