Because I'm "burnt out and need to heal" or something. Damnit why is it so much harder to stop snuggling someone than it is to pack up a tent? I'm like the guy in Hot Fuzz, that one really good movie about cops. oops cops mentioned one second. I'm always moving, but, I hardly ever seem to be able to get anything done. Why is that? Is the work just... endless? Am I ever a slave to my surroundings? Or am I just cursed with a mortal form, a form destined to toil in whatever way it finds itself contextualized in? Maybe I should just stop complaining. Maybe work is it's own reward or whatever. I don't think I'm depressed anymore, although good luck getting me to feel any emotions except focus, and the call to intercede on another's behalf.

Society doesn't want me, clearly, because I don't have any money. And currency is how you measure demand, right? It's literally a measure of value. But then I think of all the homeless and poor people and, like... I value them, so what if they don't have dollars? It's literally just paper. Or bits in a mainframe that nobody knows how to program anymore. So if they're valuable at least to me, yet me, with my 67$ in the bank and 127$ internet fee, is not valuable to me... Then what's the discrepancy? I'm not trying to be hard on myself, it's not my fault that I bleed money, but I still feel terrible.
