The Blogger's Impasse
- I don't want to write about national politics, because it seems to be completely hopeless. People are clinging to the hopes that the Democrats will save us simply because the Democrats are the only possibility other than Republicans. The Democrats, however, are under no obligation to save us.
- I don't want to write a personal post, because I can't figure out a way to do it that doesn't fall into the trap of adolescent drama.
I don't even have the meta-anxiety of worrying that nothing's going wrong so something really bad must be on the way -- instead, I have a meta-meta-anxiety at the fact that my life seems basically good and I expect it to continue as such. When did I become that kind of person? Am I boring now? Will people like me if I'm not a bundle of neuroses?
There are so many problems associated with not having any problems. I don't know how to deal with it. If my life continues to hold together, it is going to fall apart.
