Mondays have now become the best days. Mornings are for writing, afternoons are for dating, and the weather finally wants me to be awake and energized. I have a few precious hours to create and I am excited to be using them. As for life outside of Mondays, I am still bad at expressing frustration while also requesting that it not being taken too seriously. I feel like complaining is integral to getting rid of frustration and not dwelling. Complaining switches to scheming and manipulating and drawing lines in the sand. Why can't I just be annoyed and be through it? I can't stop myself from feeling frustrated/annoyed. I try to use friendship to relieve frustration so I don't pay it too much credence. Boo to all of it. I just want to write.
