The bad side often has to be brought into the light, whereas the good side is already there. The best thing a person can do is to stay in contact with the part of themselves that likes. People often try to scare you or try to get you to separate from that part of yourself, but in the long run, your own warmth towards that part of yourself will be stronger. Then there are the people who chop off your head for saying the wrong thing. There's nothing bad in you, but the way you use certain parts of yourself may be very bad.
Preparation is everything.
It doesn't really strike me as odd that packing all my things for storage on a cheesy cruise ship, that reminds me more of a ferry, really, is in and of itself the entire adventure. The lunch I can skip. However, getting my sportster over to the right pier is a little bit of an adventure. Then I skid away in my car, and in my efforts to impress some girls, just skid off the train tracks in time to avoid being creamed by the lone-lighted locomotive that has come out of nowhere. Well, they surprise me.
