Another night where sleep eludes me.
I've been thinking about the future a lot these days. And by a lot I mean about every waking moment I'm not stuck inside some TV show or making small talk at work. Maybe because most of my friends are graduating in a few short days. Maybe it's because of the spectacular fizzle of my family's new business. Maybe it's because of the miserable state I can't help but to view the world in.
Maybe it's a lack of sleep.
Whatever it is, I've found myself more than preoccupied with thinking about what to do rather than doing the things that are most important right now. I'm not just talking about term papers and homework, but things like keeping alive my social relationships, having meaningful conversation, making human connection. Human to human contact is what makes me tick, and I've been glued to this computer screen for far too long. It doesn't help that my Blackberry allows for a constant wired connection, plugged into social networking, the New York Times, and email every moment of my day.
It seems self-centered.
Preoccupied with my stuff, all day, every day. I might be missing out on the world.
