“Besides the noble art

of getting things done,

there is the noble art

of leaving things undone.”

-Lin Yutang, The Importance of Living

This is one of the hardest lessons I'm learning. I want to have a conversation, unload what's on my chest, clear my name, and be right. None of those things will happen if I have a conversation. A conversation will only pull off scabs that have been drying at a snail's pace for years. There is surely an art to letting things go. It's not my art. Also, this paper really looks like an everlasting gobstopper to me—which is something I can easily leave alone. Ga-ross.
