Safety matters, but having lived matters even more.

As Hunter S Thomas said: “Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!””

Life should be whatever you want it to be. You want to chill the fuck out? You do you. Life, however, should not be full of regrets. Which largely stem from not allowong yourself to do what you want, whether it be from fear, pressure by other people, or certain expecations.

Quotes tend to be nice motivational forces but end up being very simplistic in a world that could not be more complex.

Yeah but what right do you have to push that onto someone who can’t consent? Sure, let’s let my baby smoke weed and sit on my shoulders while I ride roller coasters, cause if he dies at least he had fun!

Quote would mean more if he didn’t kill himself.

At least jump out of a plane with no parachute, Hunter.

“Look, I don’t want to die. But I don’t want to be sure I’m going to live, either…”

Yeah, this photo is fake, but when I see boomer comments on other sites on photos all I can think is “survivor bias”

Why do you say this photo is fake? My dad used to take me for rides just like this. One of his favorite stories to tell is about having to toss me off as it was going to fall over, and how I was having a blast, but my mother was not nearly so excited. I was around two at the time.

Same, when you were too small to reliably hold on, you ride in the front. I remember the first time riding on the back (probably 4-5) and remembering how much more it sucked because I couldn’t see shit… That was a lifetime ago though lol.

This is just what life was like back then. People were wild, and free, and stupid, and happy.

Mostly I just remember the burns on my legs from the engine.

And then the motorcycle being broken and never getting fixed. I suspect my mom sabotaged it.
