decided I’d try to write 250 words for this book. It didn’t matter if they were good. It didn’t matter if I had to completely rewrite them at some future date. All that mattered was I did something. Because this was what I had decided to do with my life, because life didn’t have guarantees, and because it gave me a sense of meaning. When everything you’re experiencing is senseless, you need all the meaning you can get.
