Quoted By:
Finlay
When you are young, in your teens and twenties, it can seem like everyone is the same. Everyone parties a lot and overspends, lives in the worst places and neglects to clean. Everyone looks good in everything.
As you age, this begins to change. You begin to notice who can buy houses, invest in their careers; who can even afford children, someday. You begin to notice who has the start-up capital and contacts to launch their own business, follow their own creativity and do what they love, make art; hire assistants, sell their business, travel the world. And you notice too all the others, those that get sick, those that forget to stay in contact, those that simply disappear.
You knew Finlay before then, but you haven't gotten in touch with him in a long while. He's a good-looking, easygoing guy. You know the myth of discovery? Someone sees in you something you can’t see yourself or don’t have the resources to cultivate, and they make it happen for you. It happened for Finlay, and he left you behind.
