Freedom
Today is the first day I have felt truly relaxed since September. It is only now I feel completely free to do what I like with my days without worrying about 100 other work-related things. It's such a strange feeling to have lots of empty days ahead of you when you're so used to being busy every minute of the day. It is sometimes hard to just do...nothing and switch off.
I now have time to read novels again which is exciting. Up until now, I've been trying to cram in books before bed or whenever I have a free moment. But now I can just enjoy it. I'm reading Silver Linings Playbook by Matthew Quick at the moment after seeing the film, which I loved. It deals with issues of mental illness in an original, sensitive and artistic way.
I might use this summer to finish the novel I started writing last year. It's always been one of my aims in life to finish a novel and be truly happy with it, whether it gets published or not. Over the last year or so, I have found myself obsessively thinking about the characters in my novel. What they will do, what will happen to them, who they could meet, etc. It's almost like having lots of people in my head and I REALLY need to write it down and structure it somehow.
Anyway, I will leave you with a song I really like.
