When I was twenty, I realized that you don't necessarily get happiness just because you do things the right way. I learned (or began to learn) that there is no formula. Nothing I ever learned in math was true. X plus Y does not, and never will, equal X plus Y. It equals something else that I never even considered.

So now I don't look at equations in the traditional way any more. I try not to see things in sequential order. It does no good. I look at the right side of the equal marks and reach out for the answers I like. It feels funny, but it makes more sense than anything else has.
