my_very_own_tax_day_resolution
re_alisma (the following post has an origin in normality, though its treatment of the calendar is, in the end, so radical.)

now that the sun is up, here is my very own tax day resolution: i'm going to stop acting like people might be listening to me, and instead if i want to talk to somebody, do it in some more artful and patient way.

SMALL SELF-PEPTALK: mid April, like a day when you've already had great weather but it is currently overcast and cold, is actually a great time to make any heart-felt and good-willed resolution. also, astrologically it is a fantastic time to get impestuous desires in line with realism. so there. you actually love this time of year, every year, because it feels like you'll be all the saner by the time the year is another year. END SMALL SELF-PEPTALK

re_alisma Don't listen to me. It might not be worth it to you. But if you have some sort of interest in being fair, do listen to me. Also, what if I can say something interesting, or relevant? Or you simply would like to know where I stand? It's a moral imperative that I talk!

"Can't make you talk; can't make me listen." "Only if it matters. On a scale of 1 to 10? Be truthful. Speculate with accuracy. Are you some sort of time-waster?"

When I moved home, I think I might have regressed to early childhood. By now I'm in my second adolescence.

I should definitely be thinking: who cares? It'll be good for me in the long run, I think.
