When I really want to be soothed and reminded of why people bother to fiddle with sentences I often read poetry.
I go to nature to be soothed and healed and to have my senses put in order.
I never remember having a plan. All I could think about was how I was going to afford to get into college or where I was going to stay because I hated being at home. I didn't really have time to think about anything in the future. I didn't think about a career or anything. I went to uni got a couple of jobs so I sort of funded it myself.
