Jesus Christ am I looking in a mirror?
I could be awesome at just about anything. I could be the best poker player on the planet and make millions, I could write loads of screenplays and get them directed by guys like Cameron and Scott, but I just don't care. I think to myself that even if I cured fucking cancer, I wouldn't feel like that was an accomplishment.
To me, meaning is in friendships and not really doing anything. But for some cruel reason, that's not how life works. It's hard to make something of yourself when you don't want to do that something. Just call me Peter Gibbons, I guess
