All the best parts of being human require us to spend time on one another with no guarantee of what we're going to get back. Art is also spectacularly inefficient, and thank goodness because efficiency isn't the point. Being alive is the point. Creating is the point.”

My day 25: Another post to my language-learning journal, and another alibi sentence. Also, an afternoon of manoeuvring furniture between bedrooms, swapping my exercise/storage room with my bedroom.
