Well, it was very serious. For many people. And in the middle of last month I was feeling pretty low.
But now I am disavowing all un-fun thought during my down time. My obligations keep me from doing enjoyable things, but occasionally fun things keep me from my obligations. When my practicality kicks in, I'm unswervable from my course. My responsibilities are labors of love now. And when the weekend arrives, I throw my hands in the air & wave 'em like I just don't care.
I have never enjoyed responsibility so much. I have never enjoyed philosophy so much. I have never felt as though I had real power to buck the status quo, as it were. I've begun to walk around and treat my surroundings as the same ones back in good ol' Ky where I don't give a damn how people see me. I'm considering sidewalk chalk drawing advertisements and public weirdness on a grand, orchestrated, thought-provoking scale.
Time to be the overwoman. (It all depends on your translation.)
