My technique: I’ve sealed myself away in an isolated room, like a pitiful (self-pitiful) zoo animal. A sad weiner dog in a kennel. You’d think that this self induced psychological torture would be terribly arduous, but, in reality, i dont remember much of anything. This setup means that the only thing tethering me to mother earth is whatever moments happen in between the monotony, and the hope that in the future I won't feel so trapped.
Obviously, this is no way to live, but so it goes.
It turns out, I have missed out on so much in my efforts to skip forward. I've wasted hundreds of hours, frustrated family members. I never shirked any social responsibilities because I never had any. This sucks a lot but there is one glorious caveat- my life is not over! It’s just beginning!
