Growing up there are always those kids who are only happy when they are making someone else upset. That is unfortunately just how some people are. Some people are just born with bad wiring.

Patton OswaltThere's no destination. There's no getting anywhere. There's just the going. The key to life is to make the going really fun.

And it's not a frantic going like, โI gotta keep going or I'm gonna go nuts!โ I can not do anything for weeks or months if I need to and just sit and read books or watch movies. I'm just as fine consuming and absorbing new art as I am trying to make it. But it's all in the going.
