Text: So you want to be a writer?, Charles Bukowski
Original Music: Hanan Townshend
Original Music: Hanan Townshend
It always happens eventually. Maybe when you're 20, 25 or 30. There comes a time in life when we all have to choose the path to take. And everyone tells us what we should do. Our parents, our teachers, our bosses…
Dewar’s isn't like that. Dewar’s tells us to choose the path that leads us to what we like, to what we've been made for. That's the true meaning of success. No-one should tell us how to live or what to do. We should only remember that, when the time comes, when we look back, we must ask ourselves one question: how much of me is left in me? And we mustn't regret the answer.
Many are already making their way on the paths they've chosen. They're young people with a story to tell, a life that can inspire many others. They're the stars of Dewar's first global campaign. Livetrue is a message, a platform, a true story, an inspiration, a label for the lives of those who've turned their passion into their driving force.

if it doesn’t come bursting out of you
in spite of everything,
don’t do it.
unless it comes unasked out of your
heart and your mind and your mouth
and your gut,
don’t do it.
if you’re doing it for money or
fame,
don’t do it.
if you’re doing it because you want
women in your bed,
don’t do it.
if it’s hard work just thinking about doing it,
don’t do it.
if you’re trying to write like somebody
else,
forget about it.
if you have to wait for it to roar out of
you,
then wait patiently.
if it never does roar out of you,
do something else.
if you first have to read it to your wife
or your girlfriend or your boyfriend
or your parents or to anybody at all,
you’re not ready.
don’t be dull and boring and
pretentious, don’t be consumed with self-
love.
don’t do it.
unless it comes out of
your soul like a rocket,
don’t do it.
unless the sun inside you is
burning your gut,
don’t do it.
when it is truly time,
and if you have been chosen,
it will do it by
itself and it will keep on doing it
until you die or it dies in you.
there is no other way.
and there never was.
