So, yes, the holiday season is approximately 100000% harder than I ever thought it would be. I have gone Hermit hardcore and, with the realization that I have done so, I'm trying to undo that by, you know, not drowning myself in books tonight but actually doing something that takes effort.
Like e-mailing people.
Reading is - a mindsuck. I sit, I read for hours, I don't move from the couch; I don't think, I don't deal with things (i.e., emotions / the billion thoughts spiraling through my head), I just zone out. It's good for me but I need to back away just a tad; there are things outside of my head (you know, friends) that I need to interact with.
