While up all night for work on Tuesday and waiting on something to finish I was flipping through old xkcds. One ultimately left to being paraphrased on the wall of my bedroom, to say “Spend my life restlessly producing instead of sedately consuming.” I have a few days off coming up here, and B and I instead to head out into the woods for part of it. I think about A or M’s interest in wandering off in the woods, both the excitement of the concept and actually coming to fruition. It has been interesting to continue talking with friends and thinking about my last post, about what I want to do alone and what I want to do with a partner. Can I separate ‘do’ and ‘be’? I’m always doing something, and I feel like while M was fond of that I never was able to convey the difference to her; that I would continue doing on my own, and my desire was more to be with her. Time marches on.
