I Contain Multitudes

Posted on

As my spring break winds down for good, I find myself contemplating a few contradictions. How should I spend this last day? How do I feel, now that I’m about to go back?

I want to bake something healthy, and eat junk food.

I want to take a long walk, and take a long nap.

I want to plant pansies, and I want to watch junk TV.

I want to clean my house, and I want to lie on the couch.

I feel overwhelmingly tired but also more rested than I have in weeks.

I wish I had gotten more done, and I’m glad about everything I did get done.

I am overwhelmed with clutter, and I have a few things I really must buy.

I want to go shopping, and I want to stay home.

I’m glad to be going back to a job I love, and I so wish I had a few more weeks (months?) at home.

Do I contradict myself?
Very well then I contradict myself,
(I am large, I contain multitudes.)
