• Secrets are my currency: I deal in them for a living. The secrets of desire, of what people really want, and of what they fear the most. The secrets of why love is difficult, sex complicated, living painful and death so close and yet placed far away. Why are pleasure and punishment closely related? How do our bodies speak? Why do we make ourselves ill? Why do you want to fail? Why is pleasure hard to bear?

• Oh maturity's a wrapped up package deal so it seems
  And ditching teenage fantasy means ditching all your dreams
  All your friends and peers and family solemnly tell you you will
  Have to grow up be an adult yeah be bored and unfulfilled
  Oh when no ones yet explained to me exactly what's so great
  About slaving 50 years away on something that you hate, about meekly shuffling down the path of mediocrity
  Well if that's your road then take it but it's not the road for me.

That's why I think having regular meetings and conversation when there's no crisis, when you can build trust and a friendship and a relationship that allows for better dialogue and far more consequential deal-making can occur when a crisis does come up.
