Living here and now.
To The Amazing People In My Life: Thank you for loving me. I'm your girl, for good."The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars..." -jack kerouac
To tell you the truth, I'm almost ashamed of you: Almost only because I wallow in the same filth. When will we be clean?
"In the name of the best within you, do not sacrifice this world to those who are its worst. In the name of the values that keep you alive, do not let your vision of man be distorted by the ugly, the cowardly, the mindless in those who have never achieved his title. Do not lose your knowledge that man's proper estate is an upright posture, an intransigent mind and a step that travels unlimited roads. Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle. The world you desired can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible, it's yours." -a.r.

Ishmael, Wraeththu, AntiChrist, anything Kurt Vonnegut, MadLibs, Steppenwolf (LOVE Hesse), Demian, all of the Ender stories and their spinoffs. Anne Rice and Stephen King were/are a large chunk of my formative years. Siddhartha, The Giver, and just about any book that attempts to show people something different.
People willing to instigate.
