It’s one of those days

I don’t want to shower, ever.
I don’t want to go to my doctor appointment at 4:30.
In fact, I almost never want to leave the house again.

There is a tension, an anxiety.
It’s in my pores and my muscles.
I think I’m grinding my teeth.

I think it began with Emily Gould’s article.
It got worse when I began working.

Things calm for a moment, when Mice Parade comes on the iTunes shuffle.
I am no longer caught up in my stress.
I breathe easily.
I read a blog.
Inspiration returns.

And I am left wishing there were more hours in the day.

    So just finished the Gould article and yes it makes me want to go huddle under my comforter and maybe throw my computer out the window. But. I haven’t felt like you overshare and I don’t pick up on a gossip vibe either. Personal theory? Gossip is toxic. And blogging doesn’t have to be what she described, it can be connection, conversation, exploration. What I related to most is the need for attention which I think is a fine and basic need, only blog attention can be the empty calories of attention compared with connecting to those around you. (want to know what blog re-inspired you after mice parade came on)
