Morning of Honey

Is it in a popular movie that everybody's seen that a likable character quotes Albert Einstein as saying that insanity is repeating the same action over and over and expecting different results? I feel like this is what trying to find the cheapest flight on the internet is like. You put in the same information over and over (departing airport, arrival airport, date of flight), press "search" and expect a drastically lower fare to pop up somewhere when there are only a few flights going where you're going in the first place and everybody's charging about the same.

Um, I don't know how to tell you this, Universe, but I will be home by Monday. Do not try to stop me. You're lucky I don't make you carry my library books back to the library for me.

I've done a lot of talking here about the past pure and the future potential pure, but who I've yet to acknowledge is the present pragmatic. This is is the you you adopt in the short-term to get you down the next flight of stairs to the next level platform to stand on. Some might explain this: this you is not Ms. Right but Ms. Right-now. Sure, I've hacked off all my hair again when I didn't really want to but this matte unnaturally light-yellow-blonde pixie? This is the girl who will get me home and deal with shit. I can save personal purity and internal coherence of self to reflect on from a safe distance. As if there were such a thing.
