“The tall white guy in the Carhartt jacket lives in his mom’s basement,” he said, going on. The sandy blond man was grinning in our direction and waving. “In about five minutes he’s going to procure a guitar from somewhere.” He looked at me. “He’s going to play ‘More Than Words’ by Extreme and he’s going to do it very, very badly.”

“Exceptionally creative people may be naturally prone to vivid dreaming; high dream recall is correlated with habits and personality traits often shared by artists, such as “openness to experience,” “tolerance of ambiguity,” an inclination toward fantasy, and a tendency to daydream.

Because when she looks at him, she doesn’t see a failure. She sees a man who is worthy of love—a man who is good simply because he is himself.”
