Not everyone wants this conventional little life you’re rowing your boat toward. I like my river of fire. And when it’s time for me to go I fully intend to roll off my one-person dinghy into the flames and be consumed. I’m not afraid.
– Zadie Smith
This is a quotation I keep side-eyeing, because I want to live this way, but I know that I don’t, and I’m not sure I ever will? But also, why can I not? So I keep it around and keep looking at it and keep… thinking about it.
I’m definitely a lot closer to this than I was four or even two years ago. I’m working on the one-person nature of my dinghy. More to come.
