The Passenger

[bandraoi]

Since the mega-push to get the house cleaned up and further along the track to organized, I've been feeling pretty deflated. Deflated but weirdly restless. I really need to start working toward something worthwhile as far as my own personal, out-in-the-world sort of work. I've been very introverted and very private lately for the most part, and

Had the same thought, although I always think of the Siouxsie version first.

That makes me a fag, I know.

I felt this way and started writing and while I don't exactly encourage total strangers to enter my life, I find I'm less miserly with the energy I need to expend. Hell, I got so bad I couldn't even muster up energy to talk with old friends because they were just too damn different than me and I was tired of it all. Writing definitely helped, but also made me much more of a hermit for a while there. (But I am not exactly a party animal running around downtown every weekend. It usually takes an Act of Congress to get me off my ass and out the door.)

Shying from pleasantry socialisation
Decreasingly less sympathy / empathy
Schedules out of whack

"expended a tremendous amount of energy doing that and now, years later, have precious little to show for it, and as a consequence, I've really not been very forthcoming or friendly lately with a lot of people that I should be "behaving better" with."

and I also have this need to start afresh on almost every area of my life at the mo.

"this too shall pass", as they say...

I hear you! I've been feeling withdrawn, not answering emails, or visiting forums as often. My creative energy seems at low ebb, too.
I know intellectually it's a passing phase, and slowly the heart is knowing, too.
