Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

Okay, I should be going back to the conference, since I decamped and went to the coffeehouse a few buildings down. But I don't wanna.

Article about Elite Marathoner who trained all through her pregnancy and ran 12 days after birth. My lack of that level of dedication, moreso than my physical shortcomings, is why I'm mediocre at most things.

You see lack of dedication and shortcomings, I see wacko lady driven beyond good sense.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I would love to be as crazy as that lady, which is my problem.

THe only thing I'll ever be at an elite level at is laziness, and fortunately, you don't have to do anything to achieve that. In fact, the less you do the better.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I get the differnece between doing the hard thing because you want to and doing the hard thing because you have to. It's still doing the hard thing, either way.

Grace was all, "WTF? You want my LEGS to hold me? You CRAZY, lady."

What fantastic image!

I would also like to be as crazy as that lady. About something. I keep trying things hoping I will find the right trigger for such dedication. Maybe it will be painting my house, who knows?
