Dear Metal God -
I have a dilemma that needs your unparalleled wisdom. I have been working on a project (a world changing undertaking that could revolutionize the new age community and give support to millions of lost souls) that I care deeply about. However, I have decided to move to California. I am not sure how to divorce myself from this project without causing my partner irreparable harm. How can I have my Californian cake and not smear the batter all over my current commitments??
Thanks.

Dear NYC,
As sure as the fact that eggs have been broken to make the batter, you can also be sure that said batter will indeed be smeared all over your commitments. What the question really is is whether the batter can be smeared in a fun and seductive 9 ½ weeks sort of way or if it will be done in a painful and messy drunken uncle’s 3rd wedding sort of way.
Your first step towards 9 ½ weeks is to stop fixating on the “irreparable” harm you believe you’ll be causing and begin to focus all of your attention on what new and exciting opportunities this presents. For instance, think of all the insights that your new “outside the echo chamber” vantage point will offer. Consider the long term rewards this project will reap by having a bi-costal champion.
You see, you’re not “divorcing” yourself from this cause, you’re merely expanding its size and reach. You will be as involved and valued as ever, just from afar.
The Metal Gods Warlock, from their song “All We Are,” offer you this daily affirmation turned rallying cry for this project: “All we are, all we are, we are, we are all, all we need.”
