Sitting in a huge ornate mansion filled with terrariums and chameleons, mildly high and sipping an ice-cold Coke while watching the OJ trial sounds to me like the best summer anyone could ever experience, and he considers it a low point. The grass is always greener...
“I despise formal restaurants. I find all of that formality to be very base and vile. I would much rather eat potato chips on the sidewalk.”
— Werner Herzog
@filipealva Ed Sheeran makes a song a day.
Stephen King writes 2000 words a day.
Haruki Murakami writes for 4-6 hours every day.
Tiger Woods practiced for 4 hours every day.
You gotta be in the practice.
for all you know, this could be your last summer.
as homer wrote, you will never be lovelier than you are right now. so tell her she has a pretty smile. get lean or become a unit. find wonder in boarding the airplane. drink more coffee than you need. walk on the beach until your feet hurt. write your girlfriend a note on a tuesday. waste money because its not all about retirement. pull over at the lookout. ask the uber driver about his life. tell the woman in the elevator you like her shoes and mean it. call your mother. ask the waiter his favorite thing on the menu and order that.
theres so much life in the slow moments, and you sprint past it chasing the next thing. but at any time, in any situation, you can find the good. smile. be happy. recognize it for a one of one life experience. what good is walking around a curmudgeon when tomorrow could be curtains.
for heavens sake, flirt with the world.
