It’s interesting that when I’m unwell, like I am now - and I mean, physically, with some sort of bug or cold or virus or whatever this is (I’ve had a rough couple of days) - I don’t feel guilty about staying in bed or not getting stuff done. It’s like, it’s ok because it’s ‘real’, and people can see it. I have a real excuse. If it carries on too long then nobody...

oh, also:
people in offices learning your name and saying things to you like, “take care, amy”
noticing things in paintings like how you can see his veins and is that her collarbone?
(essentially) developing awkward, but strong platonic crushes on complete strangers who blast classical music

good things that happened today:
had a (I think) relatively natural? therapy appointment, which included some bonding, haha

I really like this. Because one of my ‘internet friends’ is someone I consider to be one of my best friends. And the reason why my roommate is currently my roommate is because we first spoke to each other online. (And my roommate is awesome, you guys.) And there is just a ridiculous number of...

So I’ve decided to reject the whole concept of “wasting a day”. I’m sick of it. Just because I didn’t work on my project or I didn’t do that one thing I was planning or I just crocheted all day— that doesn’t mean I wasted anything.
