Two Important Thoughts For Me
When I'm writing I remember that writing makes me feel better.
Not having the constant distractions I've come to rely on can be a beautiful thing.

A Community, In Some Form or Other
I wish I didn't have to turn off comments on this site. I wanted to stop the spam, but I loved hearing from others once in awhile. I do tell my anxieties to someone else, so I am not alone with my feelings. But it's nice to get a comment from more people sometimes, you know?
In a funny timing, I wrote this before I saw a blog response from Illeana. Thanks!
This all relates to community in my mind. Which brings me to an odd realization the other day: some of my desire to always live in a city is to have people around, even if I'm too scared to talk to them.

An Extra Hour
I'll always put in an extra hour of work, but I don't make the same sacrifice for writing anxiety notes, exercising, or talking with a friend. That sounds very sad when I see it written down, and that is more black-and-white than it is. I will always talk with a friend when they are in need, and I do write my anxiety notes sometimes. But "not making the same sacrificies when it isn't work" still feels like the truth. I realize in some ways why I do this. I know that I'm in a position that's a good opportunity for me. But life still needs to be lived, and there's a balance I sometimes don't get right.
