In which Our Hero tires.
Today I’m experiencing the wear of the mask.
It’s been on for days.
I’ve been socializing hard. On. Available. Pleasant.
I’m tired of it.
(The foot-healing and low-on-salt doesn’t help.)
I had a call scheduled with someone hiring for a job I’m perfect for.
He scheduled it.
He forgot.
That causes sadness.
–
I don’t want to socialize.
Not because of who’s around me—
because I’m tired of doing.
I’ve been trying too hard.
Today’s lesson might simply be:
stop performing.
Now it’s time to conk.
