For too long, I've mistrusted this mind of mine
No, I won’t. I can’t anymore, even if I wanted to. For too long, I’ve mistrusted this mind of mine. I let conventional organization rush in too soon, and I chased away the reflection and associative chaos particular to the way I think — traits I’ve begun to honor now. Human thought resembles the structure of the natural world, remember, and it’s all right to allow my very unruly and associative mind to jump from place to place. If I come to understand and trust its nature, I might actually land somewhere interesting.
