Hello, World
I'm putting the finishing touches on my next book: "Suicide and Other Notes to Self."
It's a collection of musings, written in the spring of 2010, when the wheels were well and truly falling off my veterinary practice in Seattle. It's not as dark as the title might suggest. As you have no doubt gathered, I'm still here... :-)
The book will be available in the next couple of weeks. In the meantime, I'll post one chapter per day here. Enjoy!

Stop trying so hard
Note to Self:
Stop trying so hard to be yourself. It shouldn't be difficult
or take any effort to be who you are.
or take any effort to be who you are.
Who are you trying to please? How absurd that we all seem
to be trying so hard to be the person someone else wants us
to be — or, to be more accurate, to be the person we THINK
the other person wants us to be. That's a never-ending and can't-win game that robs us all of our individual splendor.

Better instead to just be who you are; no more, and no less.
If someone doesn't care for the who that I am, then the fault lies in them and not in me, if I'm being exactly who I am. See through their confused and convoluted game. They haven't yet figured out who they are.
