was just at Market Square before I decided to "linger" a bit at Krutch Park for some me-time. i get this way especially after a busy day at work. i want to shut down -- switch off -- and just disconnect. it gets harder and harder to do that these days. it's hard to get away.
i mean, for me, it's hard to unhook. i feel some guilt turning off my cellphone -- i can't remember the last time i did. i check emails constantly. i check my facebook and google plus. i do all these things to stay connected. it usually gnaws at me when i'm not, as if i'm missing out on something.
with cellphones and emails, it's usually about work. i can't miss out on that, right? although, during official vacation time, like the one i had just a week ago, i try to. i remember still checking my work email at night. it's good that no one at work tried to reach me on my cell though. i'm with a good company and they let me be, during my days off.
still. the walk through Krutch Park did me some good. it's been crazy at work. i swear, when i close my eyes, i can still see my computer monitor blinking, processing.... at least, at the park, i was able to resist the urge to check on stuff, and get online. i just sat there for a few minutes, watching people.
i work online. i've an active online life. but i've been able to retain a genuine fascination for real life. i can get drawn into the most mundane things. i like observing people and wondering about there lives. i am grateful that i can still do this, despite the overly engrossing online reality we have these days.
anyway, i'm babbling. it's time to get some shut-eye now.
