"They cannot scare me with their empty spaces

Between stars--on stars where no human race is.

I have it in me so much nearer home

To scare myself with my own desert places."

- Robert Frost, Desert Places.

Thursday evenings

Listening to jazz and googling "I don't know what to do with my life", you know, just for fun.

Sorry I can't, I'm busy

My new favourite hobby: cutting my own hair. Seriously, can you think of a better way to spend saturday night? Can you? Yeah, i didn't think so.

It turns out procrastination is not typically a function of laziness, apathy or work ethic as it is often regarded to be. It’s a neurotic self-defense behavior that develops to protect a person’s sense of self-worth. You see, procrastinators tend to be people who have, for whatever reason, developed to perceive an unusually strong association between their performance and their value as a person. This makes failure or criticism disproportionately painful, which leads naturally to hesitancy when it comes to the prospect of doing anything that reflects their ability — which is pretty much everything.

"This position is unpaid - however, you will gain invaluable experience." Well then, I guess I know what I will be having for dinner. A big yummy bowl of experience.

Remembering

It's easy to let things slip. Too easy in fact - all you really need is life to keep progressing forward, and sooner or later, for one reason or another, you find yourself forgetting some of the things that you used to love. And months, even years, can go past before you realize how long it's been since you sat down and let yourself lose track of time doing something that used to bring you joy. I remember lying on my bedroom floor when I was a teenager and just listening to music for hours. I remember writing late into the night, and making collages with scraps of paper covering the whole floor. I haven't done any of those things for about seven months. I haven't drawn anything for at least a whole year. And it's strange, because when people ask me what I like to do I list those things, and then I remember how long it's been.

I am starting to think that most people who say they don't have enough time have a warped view of their life. Or maybe I'm just projecting, because that is definitely the case with me. I have plenty of time. So I have decided to reclaim all this time I am wasting on very worthless and poisonous things by giving myself a little challenge - for every single day of this month, I am going to complete a page of my notebook. Drawing, writing, whatever. I don't think it really matters. Anything is better than nothing. I'll post some of the pages on here, and hopefully this project will wake me up from this strange dull hiatus I have taken from actually enjoying my life. And if it doesn't, at least I will be making better use of my time. Because as I've already said, anything is better than nothing.

I think my hair can sense that I want to cut it off, and it is being extra bouncy and wavy and everything it hasn't been for the past twenty-two years. Or maybe I have finally cracked this hair styling game...?

No. I bet it's the hair. It knows.
