But something about the instinct to formalize this crazy, organic process makes me really sad. And some of my favorite people (well, Miles) are people I never would have met if it wasn’t for being randomly invited to groups without previous knowledge. I discovered Kat T. because somebody from my 201 told me I would love the girl who looked a little like Helena Bonham Carter and organized everything. I miss thirteen person practice groups with Hiller because no one knew how to say no. The heartbreaking decisions come later. This is the easiest time. I hate to hear that people are so overcomplicating it.

My point was that some people aren’t as lucky as you were. Rather than being swept up into a wonderful hurricane of activity, some people are standing outside with a closed umbrella and a hand out waiting for it to rain. You’re telling them they should run around without an umbrella and just enjoy the excitement of getting wet. But for them, it’s not even raining, and they don’t know how to make it rain.

They aren’t overcomplicating it. They are looking for water.
