For all the Seekers, willing to dig
Tornado
Hey, you want to go somewhere with me? I’m talking about emotional time travel. You up for it? I want to show you the inside of something, of Fame, and the only way is for me to pull you in there with me. So, it’s me talking. We’re going to go in there and I’m going to tell you how it feels. Sometimes I’m talking to you in this book and sometimes I’m talking to someone who took a shit on me in the press or online. I don’t want you to take it personally. I’m going to trust you, when I pull you into this emotional tornado. I’m going to trust you to know when I’m talking to you and when I’m talking to not-you. To know the difference. To know if I’m talking to a friendly supporter, a person innocently curious about what Fame is like, or if I’m talking to a malicious hater from my own memory. Just be in there with me. Let it toss you about.
OK.
