But you are the only person alive who has sole custody of your life. - Anna Quindlen

There is a little boy inside the man who is my brother... Oh, how I hated that little boy. And how I love him too.

Downtime is where we become ourselves, looking into the middle distance, kicking at the curb, lying on the grass or sitting on the stoop and staring at the tedious blue of the summer sky. I don’t believe you can write poetry, or compose music, or become an actor without downtime, and plenty of it, a hiatus that passes for boredom but is really the quiet moving of the wheels inside that fuel creativity.

It’s great to find that one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life.
