On Not Taking One's Self Too Seriously

I occasionally pick up old journals for perspective. In one of my journals from 1990 I meet a guy who says, You're a candle in the sewer of life.

I've been called other things:

You're a lifeguard on the ocean of thought.

You're tumbleweed blowing through a dream.

and of course, to keep things in perspective my ex-husband said: Fuck you. You're an evil person. You ruined my life.

Of course later he took it back, regretted everything, and said he had been "bewitched" - but not by me.

eeep, got to run pubski. Leaving my beer half-drunk (rather than myself).
