I'm not sure what to make of this drastic change of course in my life. I'm certainly not against it. Over the past two decades, I have developed a strict routine, which I followed religiously, you might say, a way of living and-and thinking, or not thinking, as was often the point of, well, the point. Now, this way of being didn't encourage the contemplation that a day like today could ever occur, or a tomorrow like tomorrow w-will be for me now. I had convinced myself, that kind of optimism served no useful purpose in the world where I existed. Obviously, this radical belief system was flawed, and was, ironically, a kind of fantasy itself. At the least, I feel that those specific coping skills were best suited to the life there behind me. I doubt they will serve me so well for the life in front of me. So, I will seriously need to reconsider my world view.

In this episode: Daniel Holden (5), Kerwin Whitman (2), Amantha Holden (1), Janet Talbot (1)
Thank you, Amantha, for everything.
You're quite welcome, brother. Anytime.
We're lost, aren't we?
Totally.
I can't do time the way you do it.
I don't do time.
That's what I'm talking about. I can't do time by not doing time the way you do time.
You know what's whack?
Lots of things.
Sittin' in this tomb, day after day, puttin' up with this food, puttin' up wit' your pale, white ass. What's whack is I still wanna live, every day. What's that about?
[laughs] Vitamin A deficiency. You trip me out, D.
You trip me out, Kerwin.
I can't quite get a handle on the concept of time yet. There have been moments here today where I feel like I've only been gone a few weeks, and I'm still in high school. But mostly it seems like I was always there. So you may have to tell me, Mother.
Tell you?
When it's time for me to leave.
