Listen, I’m feeling a little crazy. Maybe it’s a contact high from watching too much Weeds.

I laughed for 5 minutes, and then spent time wondering how I could use this line in my daily life.

I know the feeling but it is quite an exhilarating feeling though, but glad to hear things are going well. I really enjoy how you are able to put what you feel into words. It is always fun to read about a fellow Washingtonian!

I’m really happy you are doing so well, even being as busy as you are. And I know how great it feels when you do become so busy and realize you CAN handle it and you AREN’T going to go crazy from it all.

I still find it amazing you find ANY time to read/write blogs, being as busy as you are. Keep it up, girl! But don’t forget to take some breaks. Having time to breathe and sleep and unwind is sooo important.

I feel the same way. I used to be pretty sharp too..and now it’s like, whatever I have been through has made me too dumb. Too..timid, you know?
But I was reading 7 habits of highly effective people where it says that every human has a choice. They can choose on how to let the circumstances effect them, and whether or not to change.
Maybe that’s true you know?
I want to start reading again…I want to be a hard working student-the one who uses all her potential.

Writing a couple times a week IS harder. I’m trying to do that, because I’m sick of writing every day only to feel like what I’ve written is nothing anyway.

I’m GLAD you feel like you do. I miss that sensation of effortless world dominance I used to feel. I don’t know what’s missing from my life right now that’s making me feel like a fat slob with nothing interesting or good to say, but I hate it. And I’m really happy for you. :D

i’m glad you’re here, and that you write so regularly. i wish i could say that the scattered feeling will pass, but 1) i’m not sure it does, and 2) i don’t know that that would even be a good thing. you’re right to embrace it!

I have my moments of ending sentences with caps. I blame Dooce. Also: feeling overwhelmed and crazy-yet-not-crazy.

You’re so right, it’s a lot easier to write every day. The longer I wait between posts, the less likely I am to want to sit down and write anything.

Sounds like things are going super well! I’m so happy for you.

I can completely agree about how writing everyday makes things easier. In my creative writing class, we’re supposed to write in a journal everyday, but I always procrastinate and try to do it all before my class and it’s just that much more difficult. Finding time is difficult though!

I feel the exact same way recently. And yes, I do feel like I can take on the world. But one thing I realized is that I need to take care of myself first, whatever that may require, before I can take on the world. I can take on the world, but it’s not time yet. Soon. But first, I need to take care of myself and prepare for such an epic journey. Life in itself is a beautiful journey, but what we do with it makes it memorable or not.

Stop.
Breathe.
Smile.
Take on the world.
Repeat.

You ever wonder if all of this is just part of getting older? I’ll notice things differently now. Notice that I forget more – which is odd – above all else.

And you’re right. Writing often is easier. The same goes with reading or the gym or anything. Everything is so much simpler when it’s more routine…

I am glad that you are feeling better about things this week than you were a few weeks ago. Life is so great when its so full you barely have time to look around and think “wow how did I get here?” but be sure to take some quiet time for yourself just to process and relax. I completely agree with you on writing, it is easier to write every day than it is every few days but it will get easier!

Glad to hear all of this! Clearly you’re getting into your routine and your thriving on the busy-ness of it!

I, too, think you deserve a break. That’s a whole lot of schedule to handle!

The way you’re feeling is most probably due to being so busy. You don’t have time to commit the things you used to to memory so you won’t find yourself doing it, you’ve got other things to keep in mind. It’s great that you’re finding time to read and watch shows, that’s important. 6 hours of sleep is generally ok, but if you can catch a couple more every so often (Sunday most likely) you’ll probably feel more able to keep up with the world around you in those ways you’ve specified.

Scattered thoughts are best at times. They help you put your life in perspective!

You have described the way I feel a lot of the time….

And – I have convinced myself as well that 5-6 hours of sleep is enough to get by on 18 hour days… and that is why I am up at 6am on a day that I could sleep in!!!!!
