Every time I try to be proper, it ends badly. Either I mess up the format, ignore the niceties, or simply die of boredom. It’s not that I don’t try, exactly, it’s that it just never seems to work out for me. Feel free to insert a mental image of that kid in The Polar Express here if you must – I certainly did.
Eventually I decided – why bother trying so hard? Either it was going to work out or it wasn’t. It’s not for me to decide how people are going to react to me. I just have to be happy with me. So if being inappropriate works, then que sera, sera. Like it or leave it. Or even love it.
