This is the first time I haven&amp;#8217;t closed it moments later, so that&amp;#8217;s a positive sign, I guess, and yet&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For about three months now I have logged in several times with adderall inspired strokes of wit and a go-getter attitude, but then, just as its all about gush-the taunting glow of the screen hits me.  Before I know it I&amp;#8217;m dazed, &lt;em&gt;frozen on the enter key&lt;/em&gt;; I stare determined, the words stare back with intensity, the determination fades and I lose it.  My eyes start to dart back and forth&amp;#8230;ahhhh, there it is, the glorious red of &amp;#8220;Cancel&amp;#8221; &amp;#8220;Cancel&amp;#8221; &amp;#8220;Cancel&amp;#8221;!! The once inviting, green of &amp;#8220;Create post&amp;#8221; now triggers an unstoppable panic&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;something like this:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;ME: shit. shit. shit.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;MY RATIONAL: do it you dumb dumb&amp;#8230;always with the drama. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;MY IRRATIONAL: b-b-b-but you&amp;#8217;ll be exposed!!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;ME: shiiiiiiitttt.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;MY RATIONAL: do it, do it, do it&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;MY IRRATIONAL: it&amp;#8217;s not time!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My finger glide over the mouse, and just like that another blog bites the dust. &lt;em&gt;Harumph.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But No More! This is the commitment.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://elanasasson.tumblr.com/post/28220881140</link><guid>http://elanasasson.tumblr.com/post/28220881140</guid><pubDate>Sat, 28 Jul 2012 17:57:56 -0400</pubDate><category>commitment begining</category><category>firstblog</category></item></channel></rss>
