So everyday I walk by this lever
I know what it does if I pull it
It changes everything
My whole lifestyle will change
I will become the person I want

So everyday when I see this lever
I imagine the process of change
Both good and bad change
I will become a great wise man
Yet I will leave some behind

Today I sat by the lever and cried
Knowing it would be my last day
The changes start now
Happy for the things to come
Sad for the people I'll be leaving behind
I first discovered the lever on October 16, 2011.
For the past fifty weeks I've sat by it delaying the inevitable pulling.
Today I became a man.
