Lose the hindsight and put on some hip huggers.

I don't think you realize how isolated and ostracized I already feel in 2018. Take away a platform for me to be able to experience people of any walk of life imaginable and I'm stuck desperately trying to relate to the ignorant working class and only the ignorant working class. I am absolutely not built for that.

Thought provoking: The few times where my internet connection died for a week or two, I became unusually creative and focused for the duration. Makes me wonder if I should move to Tibet and forsake all technology or something.

****! I keep making that mistake when I'm posting without proof reading. In my defence, apostrophes aren't really a thing in Danish. You'd still think that I'd learned it by now.

Same for a good amount of years when I was out of work, but it also made me kind of crazy due to a lack of social interaction.

I'm fortunate that where I live now, I'm a 5-15 minute walk aways from my younger brother and 2 good friends from my university days.

More than 10 years ago, I lived in another city where I had nothing going on, no friends, far away from family... that really ****ing tested the limits of my sanity. All of my lowest moments, mentally speaking, was while living there. I remember watching Dr. Phil and other **** like that on TV much of the day, just to quiet my thoughts. Yikes. Never wanna to go back to that.

The Batlord

Brings back memories of having no job (several times), one single friend (across the city), and living in an area with almost nothing but residential neighborhoods. Jesus Christ was I probably a hair's breadth from being certifiable more than once. The last time I was probably saved by discovering that my library had a computer lab, which was when I discovered MB. So thanks, ***gots.
