What do you get when you cross an insomniac, an unwilling agnostic and a dyslexic?

Someone who stays up all night torturing himself mentally over the question of whether or not there's a dog.

“Am I a good person? Deep down, do I even really want to be a good person, or do I only want to seem like a good person so that people (including myself) will approve of me? Is there a difference? How do I ever actually know whether I’m bullshitting myself, morally speaking?”

Posture makes perfect. Are you a winner? Don’t slouch. Don’t wear green. Don’t put your hair in a pony tail. Don’t eat candy. Sit up straight. Put your hands together. Accessorize! Loop earrings, hair band, purse. Smile. Hands together. Sit up straight.  Don’t be a crack head.

I'm tired, boss. Tired of bein' on the road, lonely as a sparrow in the rain. Tired of not ever having me a buddy to be with, or tell me where we's coming from or going to, or why. Mostly I'm tired of people being ugly to each other. I'm tired of all the pain I feel and hear in the world everyday. There's too much of it. It's like pieces of glass in my head all the time. Can you understand?

What single piece of advice would you give to a 5 year old? 10 year old? 15 year old? and so on. It’s vague but I’m curious on what you’d find important for someone to know at various stages in their life.

Age 5: Never stop asking questions.

Age 10: Never stop questioning the answers.
