Fast talk, excitement, clichés, no pauses or controversy, lots of smiles. “Hey, check this out!”If this kind of intensity becomes my definition of “alive,” then the rest of life can seem pale and insignificant (i.e. “boring”).
Today, pass up the evening news. Tomorrow, leave the radio off. The party will do fine without you, and you’ll do fine without the party. Stay home. Pet the cat slowly. Let something (worry, for example) fall asleep in your silence. Then you'll be able to get some stuff done!
