In 1994 I visited Key West and learned that this was the motto of the Conch Republic. The atmosphere in Key West is charged with this attitude. It’s a place where you can be whoever and whatever you want, and it’s all okay. I think I’ve spent these last 13 years trying to get to the place in my life where I can live by this motto and I do believe I’ve finally arrived.
Problem is… my partner in life is completely the opposite. He must criticize everything and everyone, even when it has absolutely nothing to do with him. He can’t stop himself. And I can’t listen to it anymore. Something’s got to give.
But at least I know who I am now. More later.
