“The record is called Just As I Am. It reminds me—I am me—the best I can be. It took a while to not care what anybody thinks of me. I constantly remind myself, I hope I look like a fool—a way to think that helps me take action toward the unknown and be more uncomfortable. Fear is another way to say the unknown, man. Once you get yourself to travel into the unknown, you become less afraid because the unknown isn’t the unknown—anymore—but it becomes a pocket full of booty, man!”

“If I went back in time, I would’ve thought, Worrying is paying a mortgage you don’t owe, and love is warmer in the winter because smiling touches a heart and warms you twice.”

“Lightning and thunder doesn’t only bucket rain. It also buckets a magical symphony of negative oxygen ions, man. If I were you, man, I’d hope it rains harder than it ever has. If it does, your neutral ions will increase oxygen absorption in your brain and help you see a flower about to blossom and evolve in a garden, man.”
I thought about that, smiled, and then asked if he could drive me to the date.
“Walking shuts down your amygdala, dude—shuts down your thinking, dude—increases neutral ions, dude—makes you more creative, dude—the higher the ceiling, dude—the more you’ll see the unseen and have a wonderful date, dude.”

“When bad times flood your heart with hate, it is difficult to remember that happiness is a choice you make and a knack you improve. If I had faith in The Universe and fueled more obstacles into growth, I would’ve taken a Hippocratic Oath and said, “First, I will do no harm to myself or other people.”
