  • I understood at once, I am not living, but actively dying. I am smoking, living unhealthily. I’m shutting down. I need to go the other way, inside. And it was so clear to me what I was doing. It was suddenly perfectly clear. I understood, I need to write. Live here, in my words, and my head. I need to go inside, that’s all. No big, complicated, difficult thing. I just need to go in reverse. And not worry about what to write about, but just write.

And you can't reorganize to a higher level unless you risk the perils of the path through chaos.

It's about giving up all vestiges of control, about entrusting your fate entirely to someone else.

It's about shutting down the radar and letting good things happen. Let it happen to you.
