He's one of those who feels like life is just a timeline of major events to be ticked off .
It’s good to make plans for the future if you have no interest in wherever else life can take you. Just put those blinders on and stare at the road. Forget about the possibility of a detour that can take you to some really amazing unexpected destination.
Life and future. It’s all fine. Let’s just take one step at the time not worrying so much.
(Even if we had I plan, I’d change it. Just to keep life interesting.)

Change is scary.
Anything different is scary.
But some things you have to do, otherwise you’re stuck in the same spot forever.
And that would be scary.
