After years of compulsively discussing every subject under the sun, on online forums, and composing these detailed positions on these various subjects, prodded and prompted by the comments of anonymous internet people, sometimes I stop and think about the transitory nature of it all . . . our thoughts are recorded only briefly before dropping off the end of a server, somewhere out there . . . and I feel okay with that. Anything of substance I have encountered has been filed away neatly, internally . . . the whole thing is like a lesson in not letting your ego form attachments to things.
I imagine being an author as one of the most excruciating occupations imaginable.
