At times I feel like life starts to crowd me and the world starts closing in and I just want to escape. But I can't just up and leave. I've found that I find solace in work --- or specifically in my computer. I can spend all day in front of the computer. Checking and answering my emails, blogging, chatting, or working. I am at peace.But this peace is only present at night. During the day, no matter how I wish otherwise, I keep getting interrupted by the doorbell, the phone, the folks asking me to do this or that, kids (bugging me for whatever reason) --- aaargh! How in the world is a person supposed to think!
And so, I choose sleepless nights and short daytime naps just for some peace ... and quiet ... and productivity.
More than ever I keep wishing that I lived alone but, unfortunately, I just can't afford to. Thus is the result of my choosing not to join the corporate jungle. Well, maybe someday I will find myself swinging from branches with all the other apes.
