i managed to do the shopping and catch two buses without saying a word.
i bought some dried apricots, i used to love them when i was little and it seems they taste just as good now.
i've been thinking a lot about how much i care about my friends. maybe too much. caring for people puts you in a very vulnerable position. it would be easier if i didn't care so much about their thoughts and feelings. i wouldn't feel guilty for taking up their time or telling them about a bad day. I think i've only known two or three people that i can truly just feel comfortable with and not feel like a burden. it probably comes down to how i feel about myself personally more then anything else. the caring for people issue is just a creation to help my see my own faults.
if my tv wasn't broken i could watch an Audrey Hepburn movie and cheer myself up. i'll just have to settle for dried apricots and the gentle hum of the computer.
Fortune Cookie Wisdom of the day:
It's being vulnerable that makes it worthwhile. There's not much joy in being an emotional shut-in.
