Nothing mattered much. Nothing much mattered. And the less it mattered, the less it mattered. It was never important enough. Because Worse Things had happened.
Arundhati Roy

i know for a long time that i don't really know what i want in life. but i now know what i do not want. and i don't want to

- look back in my life and not have much to say about it
- live my life based on someone else's experiences
- be unbearably practical all the time

i don't want to regret not doing what i could have, would have, should have done. making mistakes is better than not knowing what they are at all. from mistakes, come experience. to not be able to experience something is to not live at all. to not live is to not have a life. i don't want to be that person.
