After a long and careful look Like Totally admits that while good people around her are mostly consist of private properties, successful careers, and formidable credentials, she exemplifies an unlikely and totally unsubstantial composition of wire and plastic shopping bags held together by Scotch - not the Scotch as in whiskey, which would be highly improbable but very nice, but the Scotch as in packing tape.
Like Totally is doomed to running an extra mile to sustain unsustainable. Not that good people take it easy; they too work hard to keep their thing going, but here is the difference: their thing belongs to reality they all believe in, while Like Totally’s is totally ephemeral and insufficient for solid prove.
Despair makes her to take some lecture course where she learns that there is hope. First of all, there are some vocabularies that can be applied to her situation. When people exchange words*, it is called a discourse, the thing that encourages dissertations. For the simpler mind like Like Totally who doesn’t write dissertations, there is an alternative promise of practice. Practice is a tedious repetition with the narrow goal of achieving excellence. What one chooses as a subject of practice doesn’t matter, because practice in itself is the justification of repetitive action no matter how insignificant. We can even design a logo for out practice and print it on our jersey; we all know that, don’t we?

Like Totally, poor thing, how pitiful you are! You cannot even practice properly, can you? Of cause you can’t, because practice, too, has to be graded, so it presumes some jury, and where are you going to find one, if in order to create you want to be alone? Plus “creating” is a funny word which any serious discourse should be careful about, because it presumes that something can be done out of nothing, or something can be gained out of something lesser, which is already some kind of nonsense, because nothing can come out of nothing, can’t it? 

* the thickness of words in the current vocabulary has a grade insufficient for discourse.
