shut it down | |

Sometimes the little frustrations add up and spill over. I tend to | |
get very quiet when I'm at my breaking point. I shut down. I walk | |
away. When I was young I'd walk away in grandiose ways: from | |
relationships, jobs, responsibility. I've learned how to siphon | |
off the steam before reaching that point. I meditate, I walk, | |
I pray. I can roll with it a lot more than when I was a kid. | |
Still, sometimes it feels like it would be easier to shut it all | |
down and walk away from my life. It's not a rational thought. My | |
life is pretty damn good. The frustrations are minor things, | |
meaningless really. You can't compare lives that way, though. It's | |
not rational, as I said, and it's not logical. | |
I'm going to drink a nice glass of gin, read a bit, and go for an | |
evening walk. Tomorrow will start a busy work-week and I'll be | |
walking into it already stressed. It's not a good recipe. |
