isolation diaries 49: exhausted

[merzb]

It's hard to verbalize precisely what is going on. But life doesn't feel like real life these days. For months on end, life's been on hold. I hold the words of Ray Dalio close to heart, that it takes 18 months for habits to be formed. I hope he's right. It means I am not yet what I have become, these past months. I think I feel anger, frustration.

Investments? :)

It's true about relationships. Gotta give some to get some.

Partially transactional, yes, though shallow ones can be entirely. If they were all entirely transactional we’d never remember dead people fondly, or at all.

I get what you mean about relationships being transactional - both people have to be bringing something to the table that (hopefully) adds value to the other person's life. But I completely disagree that you have not much to offer. You have so much to offer the world, never mind just one person. Maybe it's that you're not meeting people who have enough to offer you yet?
