Taking time off August 3rd 2023 =============== So I kind of have August off? And it's flipping wild, tbh, because I don't think I've ever intentionally taken more than a couple of days off at a time in my life. I am, dear reader, what is commonly called a "work-a-holic". I don't really know how to let things go or how to put down responsibilities. In the past couple of days though I've been hand-writing a good 10+ pages a day. I've sketched out my first sci-fi writing project in like ten years. I've been reading a bunch of philosophy texts and taking heavy notes. Been exercising and sleeping a lot. It's been great. So why do I feel so absolutely guilty?
