I just finished reading Freedom by Jonathan Franzen. It was pretty good, probably worth the hype. Patty Berglund writes a memoir entitled "Mistakes Were Made" and that's one of the cornerstones of the book...serving to provide background and also a plot mover after her husband reads it.
In my case...overreactions were made. Probably not the same ring to it. But true. Both positive and negatives.
Was never "empty", just dramatic.
Dial back some of the gushing. I was swept up.
And there are many more examples, but I'm typing on my iPhone.
I'm going to stay levelheaded. It's the wisest move, but also where I'm most comfortable. The sentiments are all the same, just more rational versions. Million little counterpoints I want to make, but I'm gonna let that part of me go for now. This blog offers me a way to still keep my word, but get one key minor point across.
Well, two. I still believe. So...there's that.
That's the last I have to say about any of this for awhile.
