I was there. I’m sure I write about this every year. Every year I take a moment to think about it. In the end, it’s about getting moved from your life. It’s about having to make compromises. I was in New York serendipitously. I was into the big New Year’s. I didn’t have any particular…

I think I’m reaching new levels of hopelessness. The ironic thing here is that the actual hopelessness comes from my relationship to people who never stop looking at me instead of listening to what I say.
