Do stupid things.
Make ridiculous mistakes.
Mortifying yourself gives others the encouragement to do the same.
Remember, poor choices often make the best stories.”

You Are Here: An Owner’s Manual for Dangerous Minds
Oh, the things I thought about as I colored this page. I remember how I used to declare, “No regrets. My bad decisions and wrong directions got me to where I am.” Now I can acknowledge that I have some regrets. It’s okay. They show I lived. Would I change things? I might change how I reacted to some things. Mostly, though, I’d change the ways I punish myself, castigate myself, for simply being human.
And then some obvious highschool teenager boy with two girls invades my lost-in-a-record-store-hideaway and exclaims his love of such and such band waiving his prized new album in the air and then announces “Oh! We should go over to ___’s ‘cuz she’s got a record player or-some vinyl-playing-player-or-wotevAR.!” and that was when any hope I had left for the future fizzled away that I just wanted to go home!
He’ll be old, too, one day, and bemoaning whatever that next new old thing is.
Great colours!
One of the ways I get through difficult events is to remind myself that it will make a great story one day!
Same here!
