"Any idiot can face a crisis. It is this day-to-day living that wears you out."
--Anton Chekov

I've really been working hard to, for lack of a better phrase, chill the fuck out lately. Things have been going fairly swimmingly (I got laid again this weekend and have the large, rather gauche lovebite on my neck to prove it) and I'm finding this the perfect time to work on breathing and relaxing.

And, let me tell you, it's hard! Seriously hard! Like, breathing and chilling out should be easy, right? Nope! I'm finding it very difficult to be still with my uncomfortableness. I've never enjoyed facing difficult situations head on; I much prefer to stew with my anger and blow up later. Talking, communicating, not running away from problems... all things that sound much better in theory then in practice. But I'm working on them, because that's the key to being a much more balanced and zen human being.

And it's a new month tomorrow. August. The very last month of the hottest summer in Illy-noise. And I, for one, can't wait to get this shit over with. Bring it on, August.
