I wish, but I don’t feel like I could ever open up to a therapist.
I like the show though.
Harrison Ford is one of my spirit animals (we share a birthday… Patrick Stewart as well, which is equally cool).
(Also Julius Caesar and Cheech, so you know, pretty good crew.)

It’s weird what a massive burden having a clear to do list on a regular basis can do for one.
Portugal (and subsequent crushing depression) really put me far back; being able to do some of the things I’ve pushed off from day to day feels really good. Like more relaxed.
Getting ahead.
Progressing.
Progress, not product, am I right? (First draft done.)

I don’t know why I get this all the time. People seem to think I’m zen.
My response is usually, you don’t know me very well.
It’s not laidback; it’s defeat. It’s resignation.
It is surrender to hopeless.

I’m re-reading the scene I wrote yesterday and I have questions about my mindset.
For example, I used the word dude instead of dug, and referred to someone getting on their hands and knees as being on “all floor”.
I might be glitching out.
