One life. Just one. Why aren't we running like we're on fire towards our wildest dreams? We got one shot at this. Why aren't we like the crazy one? I want people to look at me like that guy is nuts. Good! I got one shot at this life. I'd rather you call me crazy and a dreamer than a settler. You always know the leader by the arrows in their back, right? If people aren't talking or judging or thinking, then then you're just kind of blending in. You're made to stand out.
