in the in-between,
a place not
unlike the famous
Eagles\u2019 Hotel California.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m probably
better than
ok,
here.
Yet it\u2019s
a place I know
I cannot stay
in
forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
See,
I have skills
to learn,
and books to
gift the
world.
I literally have
a canoe
to paddle.
And muscle
to build.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m tired
though. Because
I\u2019m also doing
my best to
keep up the
facade of
actually adulting.
Theoretically
this means that
I should be the bigger person
and not pout
when I lose
at backgammon.
Oops, I failed dismally there!
I should also
unblock the drain,
keep the house tidy,
and do the laundry,
while rivalling Snow White
or perhaps even Julie Andrews
in the Sound of Music.
Oops again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That said,
I AM having fun. Hanging
out with the best
people.
Loving.
Having deep
conversations.
Enjoying
interesting
books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yet I cannot
stay in Purgatory
forever.
And I do
know this,
probably exactly
like you do too, as
you contemplate
that next big shift,
that mountain
to climb,
that demon to
slay,
or that personal best
to smash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And for
that
I commend you.
I have seen
our future,
and it
is
good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
