my life, as far as i know.

so it was pretty late at night. i was in san francisco sitting on a bench in front of a restaurant. this bum sits down next to me. i closed the journal i was writing in. “write this down in your diary, will ya?” he says. “if you want real peace of mind, you have to do exactly what you want to do.” he left. i wrote it down. i thought it for a minute. i underlined the quote as i do all my realizations/revelations in my journal. i was thinking about how every now and then we need reminders of stuff like this.
