Wise, wise words
Apr. 3rd, 2010 11:30 pmI just stumbled across this quote from Eve Ensler:
"Cherish your solitude. Take trains by yourself to places you have never been. Sleep alone under the stars. Learn how to drive a stick shift. Go so far away that you stop being afraid of not coming back. Say no whenever you don't want to do something. Say yes if your instincts are strong, even if everyone around you disagrees. Decide whether you want to be liked or admired. Decide if fitting in is more important than finding out what you're doing here. Believe in kissing."
Lotta this seems like advice worth following, so I thought I'd share. Certain parts of it are especially apropos to me, seeing as how I leave for Eureka at the crack of dawn Monday morning. I seriously doubt I'll have any kissing to believe in while I'm there, though. I have a date with pen and paper, maybe my laptop. That's all. Oh well, it'll still be good.
