In The White Album, Joan Didion wrote, "We tell ourselves stories in order to live," and then proceeded to tell a story about a time in her life when the stories she told herself began to fail. Which may be how things go for many of us, and it certainly was for me. ...The things I was choosing not to do were adding up to a whole other life I was choosing not to live.

I know how you feel, Steve.
