Live More Than a Little

I’ve been accused in the past of never having fun, of never being able to loosen up. And there is something to that. I’m always watchful. Always have my eyes a dozen places. Grow up like I did and you would be the same too.

However, the “completely safe” crowd seems far worse to me. Because of course there is nothing that is ever completely safe. It just does not — cannot — exist. I have a little sympathy for how this developed and worsened during the pandemic but those who are devotees of the weird safety cult really need to let it go.

Though I might be alert for zombie attacks and vigilant about space lasers frying our faces off, I still have a lot of fun in life and do what I want to do. Always have, always will. “Completely safe” means you just never do anything.
