All I ever wanted was to know what to do.

It is no way to live, to wait to love.
Dave Eggers

Still though, I think if you're not self-obsessed, you're probably boring.
Dave Eggers
Image
You invite things to happen. You open the door. You inhale. And if you inhale the chaos, you give the chaos, the chaos gives back.
