‘Purity’ is an idea. And that’s all.

Colette Bennett, on her new non-gaming-related blog, Mono no Aware:

…I need to mention the word practice. It has become a sacred word to me these last few years. It may be because of what it has come to mean personally. In definition, practice means to me to faithfully repeat an action, even if it seems like it does not yield immediate results. It also means to work against whatever your default is to put a new routine in place. No new routine is easy, and the most essential ones do not show results quickly. The reward you get out of these practices once you start to see results is incredible; it’s where true self-esteem is born.

As I always say, Sucking at something is the first step to being sorta good at something.
