Clarification

I know exactly what I want to do in my life. It's hard, and there are many easier but much more rewarding things, but I have very little interest in achieving them. I might lose, and be a contradictory passionate sellout but I will have tried. I am not owed anything, I do not deserve anything, and any modicum of success I achieve will make me happy. I am of the world and the world is mine. Everything has gone almost precisely according to the plan. I shall become a novelist and it will be great.

First firsts

I am on the bus, to a new town, to begin Master's. This will be good.

Hey

Hi,

Yeah, I know.

I compromised on a lot of things the nineteen year old me believed in. But my core values remain the same, and my beliefs in them grow ever the stronger. I am of the world, and when the time comes, the world shall be mine.

I am passionate. I need persistence and perseverance, and the things I desire will come to me. I rock.
