Mistakes Are OK, "Forgiven"

If you were in a bad mood yesterday, do not be alarmed: It was a combination of the transition from daylight saving time and the weird weather we’re having. Everyone was irritable, and you should feel somewhat comforted by the fact that you were far from alone in your annoyance. If you’re in a bad mood today, it’s probably just you. Still, that is not something I can particularly fault you for given that everything is terrible and only getting worse and even your most hopeful assessment of the future returns a result heavy with regret and recrimination. You should be in a bad mood, if you’re being honest with yourself. To music: This track is called “Forgiven,” and I suggest you savor it because it is likely to be the only forgiveness you are going to get. Enjoy.
