[He puffs out his cheeks and exhales.] To be honest? [Not that he's ever really that.] I feel like there's more people who have than there are who haven't. A lot of people simply just don't know how to have a good time and enjoy what moments they're given.
[He snorts.] Maybe for some people. I never plan anything farther than a day in advance. Too much could happen that'll tear all of that to shit, and then you just have to plan ahead again, and so on and so forth. [He flicks a wrist flamboyantly.] That's not for me. I see futures, I set people on the right paths to get to those futures, but the rest is just enjoying the ride.
[She sits back and thinks about that, her arms crossed.] Okay, but what if you wanted to plan a party? You'd have to take time to make sure you could have a place, and that there'd be enough food, and you'd have to let everyone know that, y'know, there'd be a party so that they could come. That takes more than a day!
You know? I think I would. Something to consider for the future. I suddenly have a lot of time on my hands. And afterwards, I'll add "walking contradiction" to my list of titles.

She thinks that maybe she's come a little too close to that for comfort.] That sounds like pretty good advice to me.
...do you know people who did that? Let go of their joy, I mean.

On the other hand, it's probably not good to just be only in the moment all the time, right? You gotta plan ahead a little.

That's fair. I've never actually planned a party. I just crash the ones that are already there.

Maybe you'd secretly be really good at it?

[It delights him, as... so many things do.]

N-no, not at all! I'm just pretty normal. It's just... it just makes sense, right?
