Why?
1. Because.
2. In the space of half a life-time, i still don’t know.
3. My cousin will be married. I am not jealous. Merely humiliated that after protecting her through childhood, I wasn’t certain of an invitation.
4. My grandparents won’t live forever. I want to *be there* before they go.
5. The guy?
6. I lost a decade some place. It’s not the kind of thing you just let go of.
7. Cus the restlessness gets exponentially tougher, and my insides aren’t scuff-proof.
8. I hate white.
9. Why the fuck not? What do I have to lose?
10. The basic, material conflict: You might accept at some point that you’ll never be quite what you want to be, but that doesn’t mean you resign to a lemming’s life lived at cliff-edge.

If you find your decade somewhere, could you take a look for mine too? I believe I’ve actually lost two of them.
