I can’t sleep. Indulge me. It’s been several months since I’ve done one of these…
Things to be worried about at 1:30 in the morning:
- I’m 36 years old and I’m no closer to knowing what I want to be when I grow up than I was at age 18. I’m coasting along just fine, but with no specific long-term goal nor passion.
- I’m not convinced that I have much to offer a prospective employer. I know a little about a lot of things, but I’m not an expert at much of anything.
- I’m even less convinced that I have much to offer a prospective boyfriend, sex partner, or even a casual acquaintance. And I’m not sure that I care, anyhow.
- My parents aren’t going to be around forever. I live on the other end of the country, and I see them about once a year.
- I’m smoking more and getting out of the house less.
- I have a lot of work I should be doing. I’m not doing much of it. Nor much of anything else.
- I think that my favorite Stouffer’s Hearty Portions entree is about to be discontinued.
I am, however, optimistic that I’ll be sleeping soon and that I won’t be thinking about any of these things tomorrow. But it might do me more good to think about them during the day once in a while…
