In Your Spare Time

Every spare minute ask yourself:
Are you okay with dying soon? Is this what you want to be doing, is this how you want to be spending your time?

[It’s okay to ask other people for advice when you already know what you want them to say. You are not looking for a second opinion, you just want to hear your own one out loud. You want the universe to hear it too. The only thing to be careful about is they may not give you what you're looking for. Plus, did you ever notice how people who are the most eager and forceful with their advice are usually the most unfulfilled in their own lives? Someone who is on the right path doesn't need to convince anyone else of anything. Thank them, and move on. There are so many other things you need to put energy into, in all that spare time that you have.]

The hill behind the house where you grew up echoed, and now you live in Manhattan and nothing echoes. Even if it did, the noise of everything else would drown it out.

Every spare minute ask yourself: Do you want to write or don’t you?
