Well it worked. I ran over a mailman – which is slightly
inconvenient but effective. The next day, the city was there fixing the lights.
After the police cleared out of course. It proves the working theory that real
change doesn’t happen until you take action. That is by no means a suggestion
to start a revolution but I find, dear readers, that you have to take what you
want. A life, a new job, infrastructural change, you have to make it happen.
This is a very motivational post – which is apparently my
thing right now – but I mean it.
I’ve even been trying to implement my new positive attitude
at work. I took Heather out to lunch on Friday, just to check in with her. I
know living at home and dealing with her ex-husband’s brutal murder – by her –
hasn’t been easy but she seems to be all right. We had a nice chat, caught up
on work gossip, the usual stuff. But then she asked me: “so who have you killed
lately?” And you know what? I told her about the mailman. It felt good to talk
to someone about my life – other than you, my dear readers – without fear of
repercussions. James hasn’t been there lately. He’s been around but we haven’t talked
about our day in weeks. I know we’ve both been busy and we’ve absolutely had
conversations but not once this month have we stopped to take an interest in
each other. I’m overthinking things, obviously, but when I sit down once a week
and think about what’s been happening I start to notice patterns. I’ve also
noticed that change is slow.
So I say, keep moving forward, keep learning, act out.
But don’t rebel. That always gets messy.
As always, dear readers,
Stay Safe
