Freaking out in a Moonage Daydream


I’m not a hippy, Tom! Well, technically, I am…

Hey. I know I could’ve sotally programmo texted or said this t’you or whatever. But writing’s nice! Kinda…

Also, bear with me but I kinda need to be a bit of a faggot for this. To get the point across, obvo!

You will totally, totally make it.
Like, I know that you feel there isn’t enough time, that you could be four different people at any given moment in the future. This is true! But another truth is that you will definitely, definitely, definitely always be thinking the exact same thing. There’ll always be interviews, auditions, competitions, conversations, decisions and total failures you’ll regret. There is absolutely nothing you can do but go with it, accept what makes you happy and change what you don’t!

Not to say that you can’t trust life, or have some faith! Or change completely. You know my philosophy is that the absolute best things happen on a regular basis! Every day, really. You just have to really look for them sometimes.

Oh, another thing we have in common- neither of us will really acheive our dreams.. Not every one of them, anyway. You and I dream far, far, far too much for that! Dreams are overrated, anyway. I know that when I was younger, I never ever ever dreamed of stealing my best friend’s every possession, sleeping on trains or wearing purple dresses, but they’ve been the absolute best things in the history of ever.

So it’s not the goals, it’s not all what you set out to learn but really it’s all about what you’re forced to learn by accident. That’s what sticks forever!

But maybe ’sticks forever’- as in, sticks-and-stones, does more harm than good here. You can lay down what you want your life to be, but always remember that the ability to accept exception is always going to come in handy.

This isn’t a goodbye speech, nothing of the kind. Just a little reassurance that we know that we know changes are coming up fast, but you can always rely on whatever your life’s constants prove themselves to be.

So enjoy yourself, and do the things that matter! You know there isn’t time and space to do it all. Love the things you try, go drink a girl drink (I’m the guy)! Try to laugh it off if you should fall. Set free whatever you want, cause if you think about it you’ve got all the time in your world to do these things. And always remember, that the time of your life should actually turn out to be the time of your life!

And should you need me, you have my word.
Desmond, I’ll be your constant.
