Simplicity

I have been living simply these last few weeks. I only just began sleeping on a mattress again (one not full of air). I have no furniture, besides four kitchen chairs, a small table and an orange stool. I have my guitar, some of my clothes, and enough food to get me through the day. I've realized I have no reason to go to the store. I have water, tea, milk, sugar, left overs and mandarin oranges. If I wanted to I could go and get something else, but I have no desire to leave the house today.
I am working on one of my final assignments for school. At first I resisted it but I think I could use it one day, so I'm trying to put effort in now.
The internet is distracting, but not distracting enough when I really want to shut my brain off. I've been falling asleep with the computer on, and waking up so early. I don't know if it's the t.v before bed or merely because I am sick. My immune system definitely shuts down when I am stressed, and I'm surprised it took so long this time.
I am doing much better today than I have been. And I hope I keep feeling better each day. Although after every weekend I feel as though I've done a cleanse, and as I said to CT Monday rolls around and it's like I've eaten McDonald's after being so healthy all weekend. But I only have 3 more days like that. Then I can truly feel free, empty at times, but free nonetheless.

Quotes

A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions.
- Oliver Wendell Holmes

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
- Mark Twain
