Brian’s collected pieces, volume by volume.
I never had a plan.
I no longer hold the illusion my life will ever unfold the way I thought it would. Maybe it’s because so little has happened I was told to expect, I’m now ready to let go of any certainty. And it could be that had my life gone according to some plan, it would’ve required me to compromise my soul and remain a child.
