Hey Jack Kerouac

“The only people for me are the ones who clean up after the mad ones—the steady ones, the ones who are sane enough to bring a fire extinguisher, patient enough to listen, and wise enough to know when to walk away from flying candle debris. The ones who yawn not from boredom, but exhaustion, who speak not to be saved but to say, ‘Take your spiders and your stars—I’ll be over here, building something that lasts.’”
