I have always been a bit two far over on the independent side, leaning towards being a loner. And that side of me is in full swing this weekend. I remember when I took the Myers-Briggs personality test in high school that their definition of an 'introverted' view of the world was that you draw your strength from being alone - you move away from people to deal with hard times, rather than towards them. So after a full week back at work, I was faced with the same old questions of why am I doing this and what do I want to do in life...and thus turned inwards, now reaching the 24th hour of a shut-in :) I'm feeling SO much better too. I researched some things online, wrote in the book I started in January, watched a lot of TV on my laptop, and gradually reached a point where I could think about my future without freaking out.
I walked home from work yesterday, which felt so good! It was threatening to rain the whole time, but pleasant otherwise, and I got to stop by Whole Foods to stock up on some yumminess for the weekend.
It's funny, as I declined to go out, I was questioning why I love living here, considering how infrequently I like to 'party.' It was reassuring to think of all the fabulous things about London that don't involve pubs, bars or clubs. It's cool to have a plethora of interesting nightlife available, but I've always been more of a day person - and for that I have markets, parks, shops, day trips...plenty of things to pass the time. And for the next two months at least, I have an awesome flat with space to play the guitar, sit out on the terrace, and be a total hermit in my room without getting claustrofobic.
