"She tried to clear her head, to focus, but that's the thing with distraction; All profound distraction opens certain doors. You have to allow yourself to be distracted when you are unable to concentrate, at least that's what Julio Cortázar is quoted for philosophizing. She learned that concentration is like the tides, uncertain, and impermanent, and the key to overcoming distractions, was to get distracted...from her distractions.

I know right? I couldn't wrap my head around it the first few times she explained it to me. I figured its kind of like poles of a magnet. If you want to get distracted, and you are distracted, then the two similar poles would cancel out, and you'd have a problem solve itself. Simple logic, right?

The world works like opposite day though, she also told me. The way to get something is to not want it enough that you get it. When you want to fall in love, life gives you a series of bad breakups and next to no luck with affairs of the heart. When you don't want to fall in love is when it lets you do so, like it or not. Twisted logic, but it seemed to work for her.''
