I don’t know why I get this all the time. People seem to think I’m zen.
My response is usually, you don’t know me very well.
It’s not laidback; it’s defeat. It’s resignation.
It is surrender to hopeless.

Music: Fight Club Original Soundtrack, Various (best band ever, this Various. Such range.)I’m re-reading the scene I wrote yesterday and I have questions about my mindset.
For example, I used the word dude instead of dug, and referred to someone getting on their hands and knees as being on “all floor”.
I might be glitching out.

Read: Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone, J.K. Rowling (look, I know, but it is a good book, and before she radicalized on the trans issue, she was actually quite liberal. Calling people out is one thing, but she's a perfect example of how weaponing outrage can actually turn possible allies into monstrous enemies - not that she doesn't need to take responsibility for her beliefs, but all those angry fans ragefarming against her definitely caused her to double down, over and over, until she's little more than a MAGA mouthpiece now.)
