Our entire lives are spent preparing. Prepare for high school. Prepare to go to college. Prepare to qualify for a job. Write your will and prepare to be expelled from earth forever. And then you're done. That's it. But why? I want to go backpacking through a European country with the friends I keep? At 6 am I want to get on a train and stay on with no destination, but only to speak to passengers. I want to sleep on the beach and get chased off the next morning because it's illegal. And how am I meant to find time for that? I need money and employment and social status to do anything that isn't simplistic. I need answers. And I need to live.
