Thank you Tyler Durden

I sit here, at 5:30 in the morning, not tired, not weary, nor even fatigued. I sit here because this is my life. My life is a series of 5:30's, most of them passed by without a thought, but not this one. No, this 5:30 is special. For this one, I am alive. I want to go bowling, I will go bowling. I want to spend time with a friend, I will call them, if I want to lay in the middle of the road and dare cars to hit me, then goddamit, I'm laying in the road. From now on, if I want it, I will do it.

I'm sick of living in my little bubble, separate from everybody else. I want to tear down fences, build bridges, I want to be the catastrophe that brings neighbors together. But not yet. For now, I'm going to experiment with living for a change, my revolution can wait.

Tonight, this morning, I begin to live. This is not a resolution, a promise, a stated goal or a message of any particular intent, it just is. The lives we lead offer the inherent danger of slipping back into my daily routine, and someday I may succumb, maybe even willingly, who knows? But for now, for once, I will not speculate on the future. I'm just going to live my life.
