Sex and food and drinks and books. You really don’t need much else. Maybe a nice view of the sky. Some shoes that don’t hurt. A bed and roof that won’t leak. Some singing, some music and tempo. A heart full and a soul fed, a head full of dreams and possibilities, what more could you possible want? What more is there?

Some people never imagine their death. They rush and push and elbow through life, they use people like stepping stones or the rungs of a ladder. They use people and take what they need and move on, they consume and consume, constantly taking, reaching and grabbing. Where the fuck do they think they are hurrying to? Where do they think this road goes?

Everytime I go to the cafe, I remember that writing a book can hurt, it can hurt as much as climbing a mountain.

Not writing a book hurts too. Not writing, well that's like swallowing a mountain and having it jammed in your throat, unclimbed, unchallenged, unspoken and unwritten.

you grow into your shape.

We should all be crying on buses. What is wrong with everyone? I am not catastrophising. This is a fucking catastrophe.
