Like I had to wear a whistle around my neck so that if I got hurt, I could blow the whistle and he could come and get me.
Like if you land on a sandy shore from a shipwreck, like dig a hole in the sand and the fresh water will rise up and you can drink the fresh water off of the sand.
And so he really did teach me a lot about how to survive so many things.
But I don't feel like I ever learned how to get on the ship in the first place.
Like I wasn't taught, you know, what ship did I want to get on?
How was I going to get on it?
That set me up for this kind of weird paradox where I believed that there were shipwrecks in my future and that I had what I needed to survive this extraordinary thing.
But I didn't know how to get onto the extraordinary thing to begin with.
So, you know, what happened was, is that I was expected to go away and go to college in the big, big city, you know?
And when I got there, I was really, really, it was very depressing to me.
Like the options that were in front of me were all so hard.
So boring.
And I got pretty depressed.
I figured out that I was queer.
I like to say like I didn't even know what queer was, you know, until Ellen DeGeneres came out on television when I was like 15 years old.
And so I just couldn't hang.
Like I dropped out of college.
I ended up back in my small little hometown, like renting umbrellas on the beach.
Really just totally bored.
Then one day I went over the bridge and I saw these floating structures and there were these people living on rafts.
