I’m running late for a coffee date when I see a text on my phone. “Your library materials are due soon.” UGH.
It’s fine – this is fixable. I can call the library on my way to my appointment. Wait, then they’ll probably need my library card number.. Where did I put my keychain that has all those frequent shopper cards… My library tag is on that…
HOLD UP. Wait. I don’t have to follow this rabbit trail. Is this urgent? No. Is anyone in danger by me not immediately addressing this? No. I have total permission to forget all about for the time being. Basically, I can choose to not care.
When everything is urgent, nothing is urgent. I should probably donate to my local library anymore. Late fees?? More like ~philanthropic donation to an institution that I believe in~ <3
