East Or West,
Which Is Best? Lie:
From: Didi S. DubelyeW
I live on the East Coast and often tell myself that this doesn't
matter. That it's actually really better to live here. For my lifestyle.
For my work & sense of well-being. That I'm happier writing from this
vantage point. Being the "Outsider" and polishing my Otherness badge like an
artsy film-outlaw who rides into town and becomes the Sheriff while the crookedy-crooks
quake in their boots.
The truth is that there are daily moments when I question this truism. Do I really believe
that I am better off here? Does it matter to my career? Am I afraid I'll get pulled
into some maelstrom of sex, drugs and rock n roll or some newfangled and unavoidable lure
of the Hollyweird?
Either way, a good lie is warmer than a blanket on a chill El Niño night. |
