I contain multitudes
Jan. 20th, 2011 11:35 amMultitudes of bottomless pits, that is.
There's the bottomless pit of despair (I know, my very own homage to the film The Princess Bride), which I've been living in a lot recently but less this week, which is nice. Today, what can I say? The ice over the pit feels thicker.
There's the bottomless pit of competence. (Yes, I know, but it's a pit for the purposes of this discussion. I am a reasonably competent human being, occasionally brilliant and once or twice even a genius, so, whatever 'it' is, I can figure 'it' out. This belief has never really been shaken. I am Sidra.)
There's the bottomless pit of rage. Yes, rage. Not 'upset' or 'hysterical' or any other word that men use to try to minimize women's feelings, but actual fury. Fortunately - for others - laser beams do not actually emit from my eyes.
