Sometimes you just need to take a deep breath.

I was hard at work on a piece about writers ungrateful for the opportunities they're given and bitter about the successes of those they feel are less deserving—a mindset I think only exists in "writers of a certain age" nowadays, and for once that age is in the younger set of brackets and not in the angry-old-person realm—and I realized there's enough negative bullshit swirling around today and I didn't need to add to it by stating, what to most, is the obvious.

I don't always manage to do it, but today I take the high road.
