“Stomp, Scram, Spit, Cry,” a friend said. “Just don’t go numb again. Maybe what you’re really angry about is that you’ve been dead longer than Abe Lincoln, and now you’re finally coming back to life.”

Pay attention to how you feel: what you love, dislike, hate, enjoy. Pay attention to what grabs your heart, what interests you. Discover who you are, not who you think you should be.
