Our day and age is so self-referential that I think it has made a monster out of me.
This will be the summer I learn to loosen my grip on things that don't matter. In 60 years, it won't matter to me whether or not I was able to record every single little thought I had while I was 23. But it will matter to me if I lived fully and lightly and freely. I need to give myself fully to these moments that make up my life. I can't be one step ahead trying to record them or one step behind trying to observe them. I need to be inside of them. There won't be anything to remember if I'm not there to experience it – to feel it – in the first place.
