A child would not hesitate to pack up a sleeping bag and sleep on a pier under the stars with you.
\nSince that flight, whenever people asked me what I wanted to do with my life, I replied, \u201cI want to be a child.\u201d
\nSo if you ever wonder why I share so much of myself with the world, from the sacred to the profane, the answer is that I think everyone could use this license to be who they are and enjoy what that means. We do live in a society with norms about what we can and cannot share, what we can and cannot do, but as Einstein once said: \u201cif the facts don\u2019t fit the theory, change the facts.\u201d That\u2019s what I want to do \u2013 I want to change the facts.
\nYour wants are beautiful, your truths are powerful. Maybe you want to sleep on a pier or share a fairytale kiss under every triumphal arch in the world. Maybe you dream of diving the wreckage of a galleon or quitting your job and starting your own company.
\nThey\u2019ll say you\u2019re crazy. They\u2019ll say, \u201cI wish I could be as impulsive as you are,\u201d and that you should grow up. Life isn\u2019t like that \u2013 there are norms, you know. There are ways to do things. You don\u2019t talk to people at the security line at the airport. You get through it as fast as possible, go to your gate, wait for them to board you, sit down and be quiet. You go to your job, bust your ass, go home, change, go to some social thing, entertain the same questions, go home, watch bad television and do it all over again. Polite, proper, efficient. That\u2019s life, right? Then you get old and maybe play some golf, then you die.
\nFuck no.
