Dear High Badass,
First off, it’s very good of you to ask. Just you asking makes me feel better. Not that I don’t feel good anyway after my fashion. I’m in a deteriorating, aging body…something you can’t understand as well as I can, because to me, you are still young and strong. That’s the way I felt when I was your age. But every year that passes, I’m noticeably weaker than the year before. That’s just how nature is. The same thing happens to my cat.
But relieved that my mind still seems sharp to me, and as stimulated by books, art and nature as it ever was, even more so! I can’t express to you how much pleasure I’m getting these days from books, art and nature.
More than ever I’m impressed with how you shouldn’t waste your fucking time on thoughts, desires or activities that are unworthy of you. Do your work but remember that it’s just as important at any age to have fun. Turn away from looking at the dark. It’s so important to have hope in your day. That’s not just a selfish act. Nature itself is counting on you to have hope.
Hope/Home. Same thing.
