It's a mostly busy day. But I wouldn't trade it for anything else - the time in between makes it all worth it. I've come to develop a personal philosophy (which I'm sure is not so personal as much as it is common): The more I give my time away, the more valuable the time left to myself. Though, if ever I start to grasp onto that time that is left for myself, I lose sight of the reason I gave my time away in the first place. I become bitter and oh, so -b l a h-.
Sure, it's good to soak in the "me" time. It's great, really, to actually find joy in the freedom of my summer vacation.
But what I do with my free time will make or break my confined time.
And this is what I've come to learn over the last 2 months.
