“I was in the winter of my life — and the men I met along the road were
my only summer. At night I fell asleep with visions of myself dancing
and laughing and crying with them. Three years down the line of being on
an endless world tour and my memories of them were the only things that
sustained me, and my only real happy times. I was a singer, not a very
popular one, who once had dreams of becoming a beautiful poet — but upon
an unfortunate series of events, saw those dreams dashed and divided
like a million stars in the night sky that I wished on over and over
again — sparkling and broken. But I didn’t really mind because I knew
that it takes getting everything you ever wanted and then losing it to
know what true freedom is.
When the people I used to know found
out what I had been doing, how I had been living — they asked me why.
But there’s no use in talking to people who have a home, they have no
idea what it’s like to seek safety in other people, for home to be
wherever you lie your head.
I was always an unusual girl, my
mother told me I had a chameleon soul. No moral compass pointing due
north, no fixed personality. Just an inner indecisiveness that was as
wide and as wavering as the ocean. And if I said that I didn’t plan for
it to turn out this way, I’d be lying — because I was born to be the
other woman. I belonged to no one — who belonged to everyone, who had
nothing — who wanted everything with a fire for every experience and an
obsession for freedom that terrified me to the point that I couldn’t
even talk about — and pushed me to a nomadic point of madness that both
dazzled and dizzied me.
Every night I used to pray that I’d find
my people — and finally I did — on the open road. We had nothing to
lose, nothing to gain, nothing we desired anymore — except to make our
lives a work of art.
Live fast. Die Young. Be Wild. And Have Fun.
I believe in the country America used to be. I believe in the person I want to become.
I believe in the freedom of the open road. And my motto is the same as ever —
I believe in the kindness of strangers. And when I’m at war with myself — I ride. I just ride.
Who are you? Are you in touch with all of your darkest fantasies?
Have you created a life for yourself where you’re free to experience them?
I have.
I am fucking crazy. But I am free.”
