my loose wiring

my mind has a few loose wires that I have a hard time reconciling. I ground myself


by coming on here and journaling - journalling offline and online are two things I do.


Sometimes I eat, sometimes I drink, sometimes I sleep and sometimes I go for a walk.


Having a hard time dealing with this right now - I think cause when it's your mind...how can


you step outside of it and say "Ok we'll do this for a spell" - the momentum for doing something


about this lost feeling is helping me out - but it never ceases to amaze me - how people can


manage their lives and have relationships - and romantic relationships and build families


and have productive careers...I am on a never ceasing cycle of finding fulfillment through work


and then when alone I am blown away by wonderment of the unknown.. Maybe I will go for a walk.


I can't keep on top of it all the time...and I have heard it said by many "We all have shit" - 


so writing this helps. It's like I have to constantly fight for sanity and it gets pretty tiring


but then again we all have to self manage - and so this is where I come to blow off some steam about it.

Get me boot scooting to The Flatlanders, why doncha? ? ?

Well my mind's got a mind of its own
It takes me out a-walking when I'd rather be at home
It takes me out to parties when I'd rather be alone

I've often thought of my therapy journal and pen as solder and gun for the loose wires between my ears. It works at least as well as using a torque wrench on my loose screws.
