nothing never ever happened
1. yawp was hyper-real. still looking at photos on my phone, still running over the things people have said to me, still feeling doubt well up inside me but still vaguely proud of myself and what i made myself do despite wanting to give up.
2. resolution: read and read and read. an amalgamation of various factors has given me a sharp wake-up call that i am really, really not reading enough, and my excuses for it are frankly pretty weak.
3. deactivating twitter has been good. also i've realized how much i have been dependent on it to catch up on the lives of other people, how much time i've exhausted on that site. i can get news via flipboard, i can catch up with the people who matter via whatsapp or in person, i can do without knowing about the lives of so many other people, i can do without all the pictures of food and funny puns and whatever - they ultimately do not really add value to my days but in fact distract from better things (see 2).
4. considering deactivating fb, but the photos and convos there are still quite valuable, plus it serves to allow me to reach certain distant people when necessary. it's also not as instant and cluttered with every minute detail of human lives as twitter, and therefore does not demand as obsessive tracking as twitter.
5. weary but determined to properly kickstart prep for bt2. time to get the engines rollin' for the next six months. not long now.
