Don't grow up
The idea that you need to do anything is stupid. And people always used to tell me that, like "oh you need to grow up". To do what?! To die? To fall into line? To follow a pattern?
You don't need to do anything. Nobody needs to do anything. You need to breathe. You need to eat food. The rest of it is just a structure that we invented to give ourselves something to do when we wake up in the morning. "Oh it's 9 am, time to go to work". Work is not real! The car is not real. Life's not real.
This is what's real: heartbeats. And when they stop, all that shit you created and stockpiled and worked for means nothing! It's just objects that don't even exist when you're dead.
When you're dead you go to another dimension where you can't take this stuff with you. Or not. Or the lights just shut off.

P.S. I just wrote a book on bootstrapping indie startups called MAKE. And I'm now on Twitter too if you'd like to follow more of my adventures. I don't use email so tweet me your questions.
