I dunno. Maybe the "point" has something to do with getting published in several different newspapers in several different states, and getting loads of new fans visiting your blog. Or, maybe the point has something to do with Contentment. I was recently told that Joy is more reliable than Happiness. Joy? Really? How about Satisfaction? If Mick Jagger can't get none, and I find it once in a while, I guess I'm doing all right, eh? I think I came near it a couple of years back. Either that, or I was high.
Lori...I'm giving you a bit of advice, since I never use it myself.
Give yourself a break.
If you're like me, whenever anything positive happens, the voices in my head insist on making sure I know that I'm fooling the world. In reality I'm a big, fat, stupid fraud. I tell myself this over and over. At the same time that I'm entertaining these negative thoughts, I'm also struggling with the need to impress people. But NOTHING I do is good enough. It's so fucking exhausting.
So. Give yourself a break. Today, tell yourselt that you're okay. You don't have to do anything or please anyone.

I will be satisfied once the cash starts rolling in.
Why do I drive myself crazy trying to figure out what the point is? Does is matter? Is it possible for someone to know the answer to this question?
The point is where the blue line meets the boards.
Dear Dr. Lori:
Please stop trying so hard. It's not funny. It's not helpful. Stop it.
Oh yeah? What should I do?
Please do tell.
