Six weeks. Six weeks of vacation I had. And what did I do with it? Nothing, really. But see, that's everything. Sometimes I need a chance to just get away from all the people demanding my attention in this country, and trust me...there are a lot of them. This is a country of social circles. Most people belong to three, in order of priority: work, friends, family. And work takes up most of your time. Friends? Eh, they come and go. Family? Not such a big deal until new years or "Obon". I made the mistake of taking on too much work, and mixing work with friends, and allowing friends to name themselves as family. So, instead of three separate circles, I'm sitting here with a big ol' web of social responsibility. Know what that means? That means pain, that's what that means.
So, for six weeks, I disappear. No one can talk to me easily, and they'd better not try to come to my apartment and "drop by for a visit". So, those six weeks of nothing are heaven for me. I can gather my thoughts, and take a nice deep breath before the next round of crazinesss starts up.
But now, I'm back in the land of society... And I'm not so sure that I'm ready. Buuuuuut...I'll try not to hurt anyone. Try.
