Adverbs can go fuck themselves.
People tell me I can’t be happy with anything because I’m a perfectionist. I prefer to say “constantly scrutinizing revisionist.”
Maybe it sounds over-blown since I’m only conjuring a euphemism for a person who likes to bitch a lot. I bitch, ok? Usually silently, to myself, unless it’s done typingly on my blog or Twitter, or clearly, coldly, adverbedly to the people around me. I am the kind for which good is not good enough. Maybe I drive the people I care about to insanity. I drive myself over the brink regularly, for sure.
I’m saying this because I’m having a particularly hard time of life, right now, and I’m very hard on myself - so if I know you, and you happen to see or call me, could you please keep this in mind and remind me to stop revising for a minute, stop berating myself? I’ll thank you for it.
