“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say commonplace things, but burn burn burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes “Awww!”
DEFINITION OF THE MAD TO LIVE: State of being & way of life that is filled with unbridled enthusiasm and fervent passion. Naturally passionately curious to explore, learn, and try everything this wild world has to offer. Not just your average person, but an adventurer and creative whom likes to challenge themselves, start and finish projects, experience new places and people, and simply stated, live a kickass life.
