A finger on the trigger
I can't put a finger on it, but lately I've been getting annoyed very easily. It's easy to blame the blood moon eclipse (is that a band name yet?), but most likely it won't go away unless I confront myself honestly.
And that's not what this is, not exactly. I'll ask myself. I'll answer. I'll let my emotions drive for a bit. And then I'll go and delete whatever I don't want you to see.
Let's start with what is annoying you. Well, what's annoying?
Work. I just don't feel like doing anything (though of course I still do it). Everything feels slow, and that drives me a little crazy as I am essentially juggling while waiting. When there are little tasks to be done... before I would just frickin do it, but now I'll leave them out to dry. And that's just uncharacteristic as of late. I'm not sure what happened.
Is it actually work? Or is there something from your personal life that is dragging you down?
You know, maybe the steemit life is getting to me. Have I made any real connections or not? Why do I feel stuck? People I've met have been pretty great thus far and I've largely stayed out of crazy fights. Nah I like steemit. I like being a part of this crazy crazy system. Maybe I just want more of it. But I'm also afraid. Is this real? Are you real?
I don't know if I ever said why I'm here. It matches some of the answers to the question I asked on Musing (Fun site, by the way). Cryptocurrency was catching fire. I told myself, hey wouldn't it be nice if there was a way to accumulate some cryptocurrency somewhere without actually spending money? I ended up here pretty quickly. I wanted to know how it all worked, and I treated it like a game. And I'm addicted. Join the club right? I ended up investing money after deciding it was fun. Why would I be here and not on other social media? Isn't it the same high? I don't know, I largely stayed away from it all. Did a game trick me into being social?
Maybe you're just dodging the real problems. Is your life okay?
My life does seem to consist of work and steemit and very little of much else. There's still family time, and some activities arranged before hand, but maybe could be more. That's probably not good.
Hmm I'm reminded that I talk too much and don't know when to stop. Yuck. And I like when people listen. That's maybe why I like steemit. I like to blabber, and people seem to listen sometimes. This is my platform.
Um. You seem okay...?
Didn't dig deep enough. I think probably something about purpose. I did end up deleting some things after all. But yeah I need to dig deeper. I'm afraid...
Oh yeah, I don't actually want any advice. A silent nod would be great. Or a nicely bundled trick package that's actually advice in disguise. Yup. Thanks for reading. This concludes a manifestation of the "meh" day.
One existential crisis coming right up!
They tell me the only way out is through - I wouldn’t know, haven’t gotten to the other side yet either.
Hang in there my friend!
XXXOOO

Hey wait! I definitely didn't order one of those!!!
They do not ask permission, or wait for an "order" ;)
BREAK ON THROUGH, TO THE OTHER SIDE...
Almost There, I will keep you apprised of the "situation" 😎
silent nod
you are finally maturing, frog-boy 😎
Eon you and I need to have a philosophical powwow (note the word selection) - Name the time and the place, I will sharpen my arguments against your agreements.
Sure! I'll see when I'm feeling up for it...
Are there typos in your comment, by the way? 'Cause I do tend to agree with you too :P.
Dayum Bro!
Sorry to hear that, but I can relate. I have been "not feeling it" of late, but my "problem" is, I feel, that I only need 300 hours after July 1 so I can qualify for my retirement, on April Fool's day of 2019
:-D
I am struggling to make it to work every day and put in my 8 or 10 hours. Of course, I am working in Bloomington which is an hour's PLUS drive. One Way :P I don't envy your NYC commutes but I sometimes wish we had more public transport here.
Yikes that is a long trek. When you put it like "300 hours" that sounds, close! It kinda sounds like... graduating.
Graduating to the 'next stage of life' Yes Indeed!
I'm transitioning as soon as possible, because we have some pretty hard data that shows the longer one waits, the more they shorten their lifespans... Construction is hard on the body but as a Sparky, I am in the best position. We "use our heads" more than the average bear, and being at the top of that group helps also 😎
"ELECTRICIAN" is the one trade/craft in construction that is listed as a "profession". It is ALSO the #2 "Post-SHTF Job Skill" right behind DOCTORS/Medical Professionals. So I have that going for me LOL
Sparky is a great name for that :P. Pretty close to old fashioned wizardry in lighting things up (safely). Chemists too I suppose.
Nods and hugs. I totally relate to this.
Eon, this is brilliant. I'm sure you know why.
Well I have a project for you if you're not busy enough already. lol. :P
I'll try to get at you on discord sometime in the next couple weeks about it.
This is great! Totally sounds like a conversation I'd have with myself.
lol! OMG, can I ever relate to this. ;-)
I was feeling a little like this, and spending more time on the lake (or in nature, in general) has really helped. Hope tomorrow is less "meh" and more "yeah!"
I feel it was just good to "meh" out loud. Feeling quite better recently :)
This excellent post was included in the latest issue of The Inbox Runneth Over. Stop by when you have a minute and see what else I found along the trail. Your companions here are all interesting in their own way, and your support for this project and especially its occupants would be very much appreciated. Thank you for everything. Have a lovely day!
