Under Pressure
What has been nice about these last fever-filled days was the utter and complete lack of anything. It was as if my life has been on a time-out; just tonight I realized how much pressure I was putting on myself. Stress has slowly started to creep back into my head, and already I’m longing for the purity of thought I had earlier in the week. My mind fixed on one goal: get well.
The frustrations of the workplace are creeping back in. My own self-driven fears and jealousy threaten to attack me again when I am at home. I have to remember that I can only do one thing at a time.
Everything else will follow.
I think everyone has “self-driven fears and jealousy” that they deal with, and I think it is a mistake to try to make yourself think that they don’t exist.
We’ll all know it is you as your manifesto will be a graphic novel.
I’m not sure I believe in manifestos; too compromising to live by, and they are usually written by angry (yet idealistic) young white men from well-to-do families who really know nothing about life yet.
I’d very much like to write something guiding at the end of my life.

Ummm. There isn’t a small shack in the mountains of montana in your future? We’ll all know it is you as your manifesto will be a graphic novel.
