Appendix: Groove

From the Urban Dictionary:

The groove is so mysterious. We’re born with it and we lose it and the world seems to split apart before our eyes into stupid and cool. When we get it back, the world unifies around us, and both stupid and cool fall away.I am grateful to those who are keepers of the groove.

-Lynda Barry, from 100 Demons

When I decided to act on my own volition rather than society’s, I realized…baby, I got my groove back!
