Until getting to South Africa, it has been quite a while since I have just had time to do nothing. I have read the books I brought with me, made some new friends, but still am finding myself with large amounts of free time that I am not used to. It is affecting me so much in fact, that I have become a little anxious about it. I am bothered that I should be taking advantage of having this time. Whether that means more working out, more reading, more blogging, re-editing “I Have 3 Kinds of Hiccups”, or whatever one does when given the gift of time, I feel something should be occupying that space. Well, as of now, I am just filing it with my thoughts and letting my headspace clear a little bit. My weeks so far downtown are emotional and full of new experiences that I have a difficult time processing the experience. As my friend Matt mentioned in an email last week, “I hope you’re finding greatness in your headspace.”
Because of this time though, I have some wonderful pictures taken of my room from the view of my couch. I know as this journey moves forward, this will not be an issue even worrying about. Even now, I am making it into a bigger deal than it is. However, it is a new experience and I felt it needed to be expressed.
