Feeling weird

[shutterbugz]

So, I haven't posted an entry on Livejournal in a long, long time. I feel kind of weird today and feel like writing might help me understand my feelings, or help me process them at least. I don't feel like writing in my paper journal so this seemed like a good place

I'm so glad to see you back! I know people have their ups and downs with LJ and like sites, but I wondered if you were gone forever. Glad you're not.

If I were you, I wouldn't give yourself a hard time about wanting to sit and watch TV all day. It's not as useless and time-wasting as it might sound. When I do that sort of thing, I often think I get a lot of what I call "background processing" done--letting your mind and emotions sort of settle and sort themselves out. If you're really attracted to a particular thing to watch, chances are it's because that show helps you to do that. I don't think it's necessarily lazy; our society is too quick to jump to that conclusion. Sometimes we just have to let ourselves have what we need, even if we're trained to think it's wasted time. Give yourself a break! It sounds like you need it.

I love Fiona Apple, and this reminds me of a song of hers, Waltz (Better Than Fine):

"Go out and sit on the lawn
and do nothing
'Cause it's just what you must do
Nobody does it anymore

No I don't believe in the wasting of time,
But I don't believe that I'm wasting mine..."

Again, glad you're back. :-)
