from a letter to my brother

"figure out what you're passionate about. figure out what makes you tick, and go from there. don't be so scared to try. whatever you do though, don't settle. don't do something because it's what you're told to do, do it because you love it and you want to see it succeed, because you want to be a part of something bigger, because you want to connect with the world on a real level. don't just grasp at straws though... really think things through and when you pick something, go for it. don't let other people tell you no."


good advice for all of us, huh?
