In There Somewhere.

The right thing to do always occurs to me. I just don't always do it. Sometimes I don't realise it's the right thing to do. Sometimes greed, or laziness, or actual lack of ability keep me from doing it. It's probably the latter less often than I'd like to think.

Tonight is a good example of that sort of thing. My gut instinct spoke up a good couple of times and I ignored it, thinking that if I stuck my nose in the air and didn't look down I could run fast enough to outdistance the stuff I saw coming. I couldn't. I didn't really think I could, anyhow -- I just didn't think. I didn't sit down and wonder, where is this feeling come from and should I really follow it up?

There are definitely choices to be made about which parts of the outside world I can keep up with and which I can't. I can't do it all. I can't do it all. And I think I'm doing a lot, lately?

Is it okay to focus on some stuff and let other stuff slide?

Will it be okay?

Not only is it okay, it's vitally important to pick your battles. You can't always deal with everything at once. Look what happened to Hitler. Don't end up like him.

Quick livejournal history lesson? ;)

[breklor.livejournal.com]

Yeah!

You're on the right track, at least: Hitler had that godawful toothbrush moustache, and only one mistress. You've got no facial hair, and multiple SOs.

Leave Russia alone and you should be fine :)

I think I've gone right off Europe as a whole for awhile.

Eep, aye, I can imagine.

I have a foam battleaxe...

Playing Devil's advocate, Estry says: depends. Depends on the stuff, what it is, and how important it is, and how long you neglect it, and "how you neglect it".

Finally, whether or not you're willing to accept that said "other stuff" might experience some Wild Growth or Stagnation while you're up off with other stuff.

This is just my exp, as a girl with many fingers in many pies at once.

Speaking of which...*runs to oven*
