Because I can't help but keep it moving
Movement as Its Own End
"Migration has also conventionally tended to connote relocating a sense of belonging. Here, the migrants either attempted to incorporate their new positionality within a preexisting space of belonging or sought to act on their new domain of operation in ways capable of incorporating the place from which they came. These ways might include either accommodating additional members of their social network or their customary social practices. A less common analysis is to see the process of movement as a means of effacing specific constraints posited by both environments. In other words, as a particular means of continuously remaking spaces of operation by setting distinct environments together through their embodiment by the migrant, and doing so in ways that owe no specific allegiance to the conventions of either."

For Those of Us
"... you know why she said, 'We are all so very happy.' It's because it's on. All of us and me by myself: we're on."
