Dear Humans,

One thing I often have to tell you is don’t use too much Scotch tape. Right now I can hear the ugly screech of tape rapidly unspooling and it makes me shiver. 

Because if you take off a big piece of cellophane tape, it’s just gonna get wrapped up around itself and turn into a useless, unsticky ball. It’s better to take it one small piece at a time. 

Life is the same way. You have a lifetime full of hirings and firings, meets ups and breakups, diagnoses and all clears, windfalls and bad beats ahead of you. And the only way to live through them—to tape them together onto the construction paper that is your life—is one small piece at a time.

Sincerely,

Mr. Curt
