Keeping it real (part 2)
For those of you who don’t participate in the Pie Palace community features, I’m promoting gawp’s short (yet lucid) treatise on keeping it real:
Few people consider the cognitive load that keeping it real imposes. As well as determining what ‘it’ is, one has to determine what reality is and maintain synchronization between the two. No simple task. Consider keeping things only partially real, or restrict the activity to weekends and evenings.
He’s right. As one who attempts it keep it real at all times, I hadn’t considered the toll it was taking on my mental health. This bears further consideration.
