Social Exile Pt. 3

So it's been an entire 30 something days and I've decided to welcome myself back into the realm of talking to people. It's improved a lot of things. I've only truly cut out two people from my life and the rest that were hanging by a wire, just cleaned up their acts. I hope permanently. Either way I don't feel like I'm being taken for granted anymore and I've learned a nice zen balance to answering and not answering calls, texts, etc. In other words if I don't feel like it I won't do it and if I feel like turning off my phone then I'll do that too. Being available all the time is exhausting so I won't be. This all seems like common sense but it's easy to forget you can just shut things out and turn stuff off until two hours later and you've realized you've wasted all of the time you needed to relax.

Anywayz: experiment successful
Planning to repeat: maybe
Lesson: telling people to fuck off is A-OKAY :D

Social Exile Pt. 2

So the social exile was a really really good idea. My interaction with one of my close friends whom I tried to isolate myself from tonight has proven that loudly and clearly. In the span of three hours she almost completely usurped all of the progress that I've made in the past two weeks in getting my life back in order (I've made much progress but more on that later).

I need to cut these people out. There's a point when you have to start thinking about your own well being. This is that long overdue point for me.

More on all of this later, since right now I have to stay up late and finish tons of homework that I could have completed by now had I not been forced to justify my life choices over the phone to someone who had no right to question them in the first place.
