Well. Just when I was starting to have second thoughts and considering reneging on the plan for tomorrow (today?), I just got a reminder of why I need to go and do this thing.
I am ashamed of myself for being this flawed piece of talking meat, but I’d be even more ashamed if I wasn’t able to claim my dignity back again from forces that I cannot and will not ever be able to control. There is no magic pill, no technique which will erase the embarrassment of this recent debacle of my life (though I dearly wish it was so), but in lieu of being able to simply forget everything that’s happened this past year, I will do what CAN be done. For the sake of my own self.
Let it be known that the sin of Pride is good for at least this one thing.
