Believe it or not age cures more or less all of that. Can't quite describe how or why, but it's more like beating dents out of a car panel than going numb or not caring. Not that that helps until it happens, but at least you know. Hm. Believe it or not age cures more or less all of that.

The majority of my rambles aren't terribly Olin-relevant and don't get marked as such. Oh, I tag Olin-relevant posts with the ‘olin’ tag, and stuff on my blog with that tag gets sent to Planet Olin.

And it's not bad that the talk is self-centered or abstract if it gets the point across. Part of that's just having a personal blog. If I may speculate, though, anger is the first stage to acceptance. Anger in an idealist can therefore be the recognition of a new obstacle. Or, hell, it can also just be burnout. Either way, it can be healthy every now and again. Also I just realized I haven't been following your updates. Weren't you going to be on Planet Olin this summer? <3 Mel.

Still: Life *is* pretty darn wonderful, equally well in the middle of the stings as in the middles of the joys; everything has something to teach (and "experience is the thing you get just after you need it"). You are as inspiring when you're upset as you are when you feel more productive. ...that is all.
