The words on my skin

“I promise I shall never give up, and that I’ll die yelling and laughing.”
—Jack Kerouac, Journal Entry, 1949

  1. I think I will die laughing and yelling. But what if no one can hear me down there, or up there?

  3. the title and quote are perfect. so many of the things you post make me think we must be kindred spirits.

    re: Franny and Zooey - have I mentioned that I read that book just recently and it is one of the most brilliant, beautiful books I've read in my life, and possibly my favorite book in the world? or were you simply compelled by pure, providential coincidence to mention it to me? either way, I'm happy you thought of me, and I do hope you enjoy it. xo

  5. It's a great motto. My teenager wants to put some words on her skin which are far more depressing. I think I may suggest this quote instead.
