More Dry January talk, even though we hadn’t planned to keep celebrating. Today’s ramble comes courtesy of a message we got a few days ago. Giving up drinking is one thing — but how do you let go of the IDEA of drinking, the fantasy that accompanies it? The romance, the adventure, the quiet moments alone. Initially we planned to make this week’s Pillow Talk about cats or boobs — the eternal question, “cats or boobs?” — so please vote in the comments about which one to tackle next. In the meantime, let’s talk about the small promises that keep life going, and the chasm that can open between what you do and who you want to be.
Authors (possibly mis-)quoted: Joan Didion, Pema Chodron, David Sedaris.
