I live away from my dog (anti-rec fyi) and any time I’m home and get to hang out I love to watch him toil away at his little jobs and hobbies. He’s really working hard on chewing his toys, using his paws like hands, and smiling with his bottom teeth, and after a long day he sleeps tucked in the bed like a little human with the knowledge that he did his best all day.
bored, struggling, hasn’t caught you yet, poorly written, bad politics, or droll —don’t finish that book! read something else!
you can always come back to it later
