edit: ha, the formatting on this thing is jacked and I don’t know how to fix it. I need to upgrade my wordpress but I’m afraid of losing everything. fail.
BEGIN POST:
I am so busy. I feel like a lot of us have all of a sudden gotten very busy in the last year or so. I don’t even know what we’re busy with, but we are. I remember a time where I would usually be home at night most of the weeks, where there was time to cook, time to talk on the phone, time to play on the internet, time to respond to emails, time to pay bills, time to sleep, time to do laundry, time to learn to play the guitar, time to update websites, time to blog. There once was such a time. Now? No more.
Now I am consumed by work and activities nearly every night. All these activities, well, they’re good, it’s just a lot. And, I’m a sucker for hanging out. I’m a sucker for going out to dinner. It’s hard to say no. I think I’m getting burned out. Actually, I am getting burned out. I think I’ve been slowly getting burned out for the last year or so. Yikes.
It’s not that activities are the only thing that take up time. Thinking takes up time. Thinking about work, thinking about life, thinking about thinking… So, it must be that thinking paired up with activities makes me one highly stressed person.
Just the other day I was telling a friend that I feel like I’m a lot less sensitive than I used to be. In fact, I think I’m more mean. I’m more easily irritated and annoyed than before. I don’t like that.
I need more time or less activities. I think I’d like more time because with more time I might be able to still enjoy my activities while having time for myself. Or what might happen is that extra time would get filled with more activities which would be NG.
