I knew my answer to this
question the second I read it. Why it’s taken me a week and a half to actually
type it up, I have no idea… (Well, yes, I do. Starting a new job is a bit
nerve-wracking and distracting.)
I’ve spent that time
explaining to Dan that HE is my villain. And it may be a surprise to some, but
that’s just not true. Nope. He’s actual the hero of the story if you can
believe that. The uber-villain would be - well - me. I am a professional
self-saboteur, an expert in complicating absolutely everything, and quite
talented at being completely crazy most of the time. “You are your own worst
enemy?” I take that to an extreme. He talks me down, he rationalizes me, he
reminds me that I am just kind of a dork who really needs to CHILL. There are
days when I can barely function because of some stupid commotion going on in my
brain and all he has to do is talk to me (or look at me like I really am the
biggest idiot in all the land) and everything settles down. He keeps me
grounded.
The trusty side-kick in
my craziness? That would be my sister. No question. I can count on her for
anything and everything and she’s always along for the ride. And boy, do I make
it a loopy one for her. Though she did literally save my life once, so maybe
*she* should be the hero of my story?
