Yea, there is no need to rush. You can accomplish anything you put your mind to, so take time to enjoy things instead of accomplishing things. Accomplishing things does have use, but only if you see it as having use.

I think the initial idea of getting overwhelmed by everything was intended to be a distraction from my unsatisfactory life. I'm afraid that if I stop being busy, I'll have more time to concentrate on my inner thoughts, thus being more aware of my miseries.

I face that problem. You are able to perform derealization, which I view as mental suicide. Id reccomend using that at times when you would have no other choice but to view your inner thoughts.

It's easy to rationalize these things. Actually reconciling them emotionally... well that's the real trick isn't it?

yeah. I noticed that I write alot about what I should do, but never actually follow through. Reading back on some of my entries, I seem to know what I want, what's holding me back and why, possible solutions, etc...but I'm too afraid to do anything.

That's me in a nutshell. :-P

I'm not in a rush. I let myself feel bad about that for quite awhile, because everything around me (people, magazines, tv, etc) told me I should be. Now that I've accepted that I should be myself and that it doesn't matter what other people think of my life, things are quite a bit better.

Last summer I had quite a few nice days blowing bubbles, by the way. I have a big 3 foot bubble maker thing, and I make really strong bubble stuff out of dish soap and a few chemicals...ah, summer...

heh, there are many pleasant summer memories I miss and relive in my mind...

You are in a hurry? You can take your time, take your breaks whenever you need them, and make lucky breaks out of them.

Well, I seem to be. I want to finish college as soon as possible and quickly find a career afterwards..but I'm realizing that I'm stressing myself.
