Not Leaving


I feel pretty tired tonight. I’m pretty tired of being on the computer, for the day but also in general. It’s so much of my creative output and social experience that I just...would like to move on from that, I think. But I have to balance that with my unwillingness to leave my house all that often, so I’m not so sure how to do that, really. 

Just accept and lean in to solitude, I suppose. That doesn’t sound too bad. 

I don’t think I could do an internet fast, I think I should, but with my work I don’t think I could. Maybe once things settle down and I go on a vacation I’ll make that part of it, that sounds good. 

I’ll be fasting tomorrow for the fourth time with any consistency. I think I’d also like to try and work out, but I don’t want to get ahead of myself. 

I don’t think fasting from devices would cause physical pain the same way that not eating food does. I don’t know what it would do, actually. I spent about four days in a canyon in New Mexico once without any service. Mostly I read and went on walks, but I also wrote about twenty pages of a novel that didn’t go anywhere. I did it on my laptop, which I think was a mistake. Even without internet there’s shit on there to distract you. 

I didn’t have a typewriter then, but I do now, and I ought to use it a hell of a lot more than I do.
