Notes from Dusk Desk - Story 8

(Beep. Music fades in.)

Hey, I got your message. And honestly, I’m not surprised that this needs to be said. Which is a hard thing to explain but bear with me. Basically… Everything is about balance, right? Yes, you can die of dehydration, but you can also suffer severe consequences if you drink way too much water. There’s a pretty large range of safe water consumption, so maybe that’s not a great example. But you get my point. Our… persona, let’s call it, works in a similar way, I think. It needs some flexibility to adapt to certain situations, but if it doesn’t have some sort of rigidity or structure, it can’t support itself. 

That’s what it means to be who we are, I think. We need to have some give but retain a clear structure. It’s a hard balance to strike, I know, but it’s easier to fall one way than it is the other. And it’s a bit easier to reason against that way as well. As a little added bonus. I don’t know. Maybe let’s not worry about overcorrection right now. We can cross that bridge when we get to it.

So for now, dear wanderer, be thyself
