Sometimes I feel like every personal argument I've gotten into with family or colleagues boils down to "I HAVE 13 PIECES OF FLAIR"

If that's not the real minimum, tell me the real minimum and I will do that instead

"But I don't want you to do the required minimum, I want you to do more than the minimum because you care" Ok so what's the caring minimum

An unrelated bit that I think about is a throwaway line from Alpha House where John Goodman defends the use of "110%"

"Of course it makes sense! Most of the time you give 100% of the game but it's not really 100%, you save 10% to go take a shower"

I know people like to mock "self-care" as overused now but I'd like to reframe it -- of course your 100% isn't ever your real 100%

If you give your actual 100% to anything, when you get down to 0%, you die. That's what that means

Of course I hold back some of my resources for every relationship, every cause, every project. You HAVE TO

That "extra 10%" shouldn't even be on the books, just like when you start a company you don't put literally all your money in it

I want to know what the real minimum flair is bc I'm not going to plaster myself in flair until I can't walk bc maximum flair is stupid

I want to know what the minimum is bc yes I'm going to do "the bare minimum" bc that's the fucking deal we made and you don't own me
