Parents

These last weeks have been grueling, in terms of my conversations with my parents. The highlights being "you sound insane" "I don't feel proud of you anymore" "you have no guiding principle," and on and on and on.

In response to the last accusation, I showed them my couch surfing profile (my user name is Pineapple Mushroom Man) where they had just asked, the night before when I created it, what my guiding principle is...

Here's the heading of my page:

Max Hollenbeck

Current Mission: "Be who I am. Harder than it sounds."


Well, my dad just sent me this e-mail.

Hi,
Your mission to be who you are is exactly right.
It made me look up this concept. Check it out:

I'm too tired to ponder it. Nothing is packed in my bag currently and blast off is T-5 hours 33 minutes.

So I guess I'll get to that.

Love,
The Pineapple Mushroom Man
