If I ever wrote a memoir…
I would call it “The Scenic Route,” because my life has never been a simple, linear trajectory. Every thing I do, I seem to do ass-backwards. If you’re an optimist, you could say I accomplish things in the most unique ways possible. … They say Capricorns age backwards. It’s true. I was born a little genius and now I’m afraid what I’ll “become” with each passing day. I think I had more common sense at the age of five than I have now at the age of twenty-three. But I don’t wanna get down on myself and bring you, the reader, down with me as well. So if it is true that I’m only getting younger—certainly not wiser—with each passing year, then I’ll believe that this is the path I’m meant to take…one that will only take me closer to the things that really matter: childlike wonder and pleasure that floods the present moment. I apologize. It’s nearly one AM. This day’s been long. But as I told a friend less than a few hours ago: at least when life is terrifying, it ain’t boring.
