Sometimes. I&#8217;m a person of extremes.<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t tell if people think I play dirty or just physical. I wonder if they can tell that half the time I&#8217;m giggling my head off on the inside.<\/p>\n<p>There are some people in this world who are just very sweet people.<\/p>\n<p>Without endings, there can be no beginnings. That&#8217;s what I told the German guy. It was almost 6 in the morning and we had been sitting in my car since 2, expounding on the idea of how I was amidst a new beginning and he was amidst an ending, meeting at random on a day that doesn&#8217;t exist (2\/29). A stranger turned soulmate, just for a few hours. Life is really a train station sometimes.<\/p>\n<p>I can be anywhere tomorrow. There is nothing holding me back. I could be in Seattle. Chicago. Driving to the Grand Canyon. The German said I should go to Munich next week so I said, okay. Maybe I&#8217;ll take a cruise. I&#8217;ve worked so hard for this. And now here I am. My friend said to me today, &#8220;You did it. You went and you set yourself free. You&#8217;ve built your life right and you did what 99% of people your age haven&#8217;t figured out yet. And now you can basically do whatever you want with your life.&#8221; I want to tell you, it was a hell of a lot of fucking work.<\/p>\n<p>If you can catch me, you can find me. I&#8217;ll talk to you.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re going to turn this world around, everyone. Epidemics take time, work and skill, even the good ones.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>thoughts today: I left so much money on the table, it still gives me chills thinking about it.
