maintain your poise
A few days ago I was told this by a young man: “You have traits that I like in a person: cold, distant, strong, moments of weakness, seemingly apathetic. These are all characteristics I respect.” I responded with, “Huh… To think that most would label me as a jerk* for possessing those attributes.” Man, I am such a sage.
Yesterday I felt a wee bit humble. Kindness from others can have that affect on a person. My pretension will return tomorrow. WITH BELLS ON.
We got our new refrigerator. As I said to my mother, I never thought it was possible to be so enamored with a kitchen appliance.
Hey. I’m sorry I didn’t sleep last night again. Just know that I try.
And that I adore you.
