REMEMBER THIS (5/25/10) SAM: My name is Samantha Brown and this is my autobiography. It begins when everything in front of me is blank, in the one bright second when I know what I want but I still haven’t turned the key. I have to savor this. I have to remember how it feels to want something so much that you’ll risk regretting. Can you do that? Can you do something as simple as not know where you're going? (She takes a deep breath.) What does it feel like?

Even, no sense of downbeat
