hellosara "Just thinking" days never get you anywhere.
Trust me, I took a whole just thinking year. Admittedly, it helped sort my mind out from the disproportional amount of emotional baggage and crazy that school left behind, but other than that, useless. I can vouch for this. Sure, thinking might get you somewhere, but it's nowhere that you want to be. Thinking was probably the least productive, and most taxing, thing that I've done the past year or so. It just created all of these problems. You need to be direct with people, and if it's some existential conflict that you're battling with you're really just wasting your time. If you're somewhat intelligent, in my experience, all of the thinking will eventually lead you to the realization that you just wasted a s**t ton of time. I guess that's the one positive to it, though. It's alright to be introverted, but it's definitely not alright to let it get to the point where it constantly hurts you.

Mm, the thing about taking time off to think about stuff is that all you do is think about stuff. That may seem dead obvious, but what I mean to say is that you tend to be thinking stuff like "I should do __" and never, ever doing whatever that is, because you're in the swing of thinking about stuff and not getting off your arse and moving. Much better for your state of mind to be the sort of person to just do - I wish I was that sort of person. I suppose it's one of those things you get into the habit of.

London Eyes AesopGrimm21 Quarry Eyes AesopGrimm21 Quarry Eyes I can't justify playing games any more. I am too serious. Who the ******** needs justifictation. If you need justification in everything you do then you're taking yourself too seriously. People tend to dislike that in others. Or so I've heard. I just figure I could be making art instead of doing something where the sense of achievement is so short-lived. I just see some of my friends wasting their lives. They get in from a day of work and start playing games. Seems like a horrible, boring laugh. Eh. For me it's less of an achievement thing. It's more of an escape for me. I play RPG's, and a lot of them to boot. I've been a hardcore FF fan since I started breathing, and have always been into the idea of living another life as someone else. I'm just waiting for something realistic. Where the mistake you make is more than "I knew I should have used Curaga instead of Cura". I seriously enjoyed both the Fable games even though 2's ending seemed Lack-luster in the wake of the ending of number 1. I hated seeing my dog die. sad It like, hurt my soul. Maybe you should take a long, hard look at what you're escaping from. Escapism is certainly a good thing, but not on the scale required to complete something like Fable, FF or any of the more recent RPGs. Maybe, as you get older, you just become more comfortable with who you are. From the age of sixteen, I used to play with my band for six hour stretches, sometimes more. These days I lock myself away and create for as long as I can go without food. That's true (constructive) escapism. Also, I feel I can look back and not feel I wasted my free time. Something that seems to get very tight when you really hit adulthood. I'm not trying to tell you how to live, because I make these judgements from the safety of retrospect. I'd just like to think I gave someone else an understanding of what they could be doing instead of sitting in front of a TV. Fable is a bad example... it's a crazy-short game... thats, like an afternoon... i dont view games as escapism.. it's just something to keep busy... it's entertaining... honestly, though, my 360 broke about a year ago... and i just havent cared enough to send it in and get it fixed... i've been more concerned with having money for the ladies and buying new pickups, pedals, guitars, and saving for a new amp... i thought for sure i'd die of bordom without it, but it's actually been pretty alright without it...

I've probably mentioned before that, around the time I turned 16, the only computer in the house broke. No internet for about three years. It was so ******** good. Used to ride BMX all day and come home and play bass until I fell asleep.

The family computer broke once. All it did was set the rug on fire.
