I’m in California or Mexico right now (probably), so for a few weeks, this is a collection of all my favourite questions I’ve thought of in the last year and bit since I started this blog. You have the answers to everything you want to know (about the world or about yourself) inside of you, all it takes is to ask yourself the right question. And…

There is nothing that is as useless as the pursuit of legacy. To be remembered when you’re not living, by people in the future, many of who haven’t been born yet. So instead of trying to be remembered as ‘great’ or successful, ‘Fall Glimmer, Sparkle and Fade’. At the end of The Outsider, and in maybe my favourite piece of writing ever,…

So, ‘all’ in one sense of the word. But all that ‘all’ didn’t interest him at all. He got rid of all that, and all his possessions –apart from the ‘necessary comforts’– so…
