This is some of my thoughts on life without internet.
There are times when I am hit with a wave of anxiety. What did I miss? Can I catch up? Will it still be there when I come back? Those questions run through your mind on a constant loop.
I don't mean to be anxious. It was never a big deal before. But I am taking this time as a brief tech semi-detox. I obviously needed it more than I imagined.
At the time of me writing this, it has two weeks without internet access. There is so much stuff I know I will need to handle once I am back online. That is what gets to me. I have neat freak tendencies (in all the places that aren't really noticeable to my mom) and the thought of my emails just piling up makes me want to scream in horror like character in a bad 1970s horror movie. If you know, you know.
If there is a brightside in all this, I got to empty my To Be Read pile a little. Though let's be honest, that thing is never going to be completely gone in my lifetime. I had to come to terms with that a long time ago. I will always add more books than I take out. I am a book lover, the only boyfriends I have ever had has been a book boyfriend and I just might turn feral if you take my books from me. It has never happened but I feel like it could.
So, at least I have my books. I am also catching up on some shows I meant to watch but never got around to. So, upside right?
