what i'm doing
I'm surrendering to the universe, plunging into the world barefooted and unprotected. I'm facing the fears I so lovingly grew and tended over the years. For the first time in my life since I was 5, I'm alive again. Not striving to prove that I'm a productive adult, make a paycheck, get a more prestigious job so I'll feel better about having thrown my life away on a career that is meaningless in the face of the vastness and possibility of the universe. Not sleepwalking or brainwashed. Not hoping that something will surely change in the future because I can't believe this is where I ended up in my life.
I am creating my change. I am creating my future. It doesn't include being asleep or conforming to the mass-hypnosis that most of us have been addled by. I can't remember the joy and freedom I felt in early childhood, but if I could, I think it would feel something like this. I don't want to tell the whole story here; the story of how I arrived at this state. I'm not even sure how to tell it. In the face of this re-awakening the details I once clung to don't matter to me anymore. What matters is that where I have arrived is a really good place. For that, I have incredible gratitude.
So on April 15, 2008, armed with a laptop, a backpack, a plane ticket to London, and the trust that the universe would provide, I stepped out solo into the world. I left behind my friends, family, worldly possessions and - most importantly - my fear. What did I hope to find? Well, actually, I'm pretty sure I already found it. The journey is about making it real.
Bird York sums it up in In the Deep far more beautifully than I ever could...
only after disaster can we be resurrected.

...what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. at no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. i award you no points, and may god have mercy on your soul.
