“Here’s my gift to you: don’t forget to be reckless sometimes, to take the world up on a dare, to say f* all to what is expected of you, even what you expect of yourself. Allow yourself to be surprised, shocked or shaken, and do your level best to feel and experience all that comes with that, even the stuff that is disturbing, scary or uncomfortable. Stop looking for things; start accepting what is dropped in your lap. F* being a grownup on occasion, stomp the crap out of all the little boxes, tell convention to stuff it, sing out loud when you walk down the street, even if you can’t carry a tune and the neighbors complain. Have a secret and grin about it like an idiot. Say ‘I don’t know’ as an affirmation, not an apology.

“And never, ever, run out of stories.”
