Restless
Joey: I guess, if we’re being as honest as we can, I rely on people who have chosen stability over adventure. Earlier this summer, I stayed on your couch for a week, because I was essentially homeless, before flying off to Paris. I had no money for hotels or even hostels. I stayed with strangers. Slept on floors. When I traveled the US a few years ago, and came home penniless, I had to stay with friends for a couple months before I got back on my feet, and that’s kind of a dick move. You’ve spent every penny going out for adventures, and you expect the people back home to be your safety net. I know that, but again and again I get restless, and I need to just sell everything and take off, and I tell myself that I won’t rely on people to catch me afterwards, but of course, they’re always there, and they always catch me, because they love me whether I’m stupid or not.
An excerpt from an interview with Ryan North of Dinosaur Comics and Joey Comeau of A Softer World. I feel like this all the time and it both excites and scares me.
