Kilter
Today's a day that's a little bit off. Girl-E has off days for no reason whatsoever all the time, but today there is a reason-- some of you know what it is, but we won't go into it here. Her vision's a little blurry, her joints ache a bit, the water in her Nalgene tastes sorta funny, she's making more typos than usual. Just... off.
But off is ok, it's tolerable. Afterall, dates are only markers in time, they're not what's real, what's lived every day. There's a reason history classes have shifted from timelines to analysis and interpretation. A marker in time may arouse attention, but things are what they are. And something that asks for attention to the bad also brings attention to the good, by definition. So let a marker have its range of meanings and memories, accept its offness, but don't give it too much power, because the next day you move forward.
