I am so sublimely lionhearted it would shock you

Never let a minute lie upon the shelf for there may be in it all of life itself.

Why yes, yes I am.

Why yes, yes I am.

Haters gonna hate.

But I’m not gonna shorten the time I have left to be happy on this planet by worrying about it. I’m just gonna dance.

ART IS DANGEROUS

I’m lucky to be alive today. Bonus points for showing up with all my appendages. 

Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure — these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.
