Day 18 of Being Jobless

Dec 092009

Since I left my day job, I felt less and less sleepy, like I didn't need so much sleep anymore. Sleep used to be an escape, and it came as a very welcome friend. But now that I didn't have something to escape from, I found it hard to fall asleep.

I felt like I wanted to do so many things, and I wanted to do them NOW! Suddenly, the word TOMORROW became rather distant and unfamiliar. I don't have company-set deadlines anymore. I don't need to wait for weekends anymore just so that I could have a break.

I don't know if this is a sense of TIME being suspended, but everything has suddenly fallen into the PRESENT moment. What would I like to do NOW? This is the question that often came to mind.

Rare is it that the answer to that question would be that I wanted to fall asleep. Out of so many things that could be done, why fall asleep?

Maybe it just takes a certain amount of discipline, or maybe the excitement of my new-found freedom has yet to subside. Whatever it may be, I know I have got to adapt to these awesome changes that's been happening in my life ;-)

Agnes { Dear Joyce, Hi! I have been an avid reader of your blog about a year an a half ago when I too have been experiencing heartbreak and burden in my life.

Tanya { Dear Joyce, I don't have a husband who physically abuses me but i have one who does so verbally and emotionally. He doesn't care whether we be in public places like malls, offices etc he just feels he needs to, in his own terms, "vent out his spleen". He had called me many things and often times says that i am stupid. He said i needed to reform, and that the only way was "his way". for the past year i have been doing all he asks of me, i am not allowed to talk to my friends, neither am... } – Jan 24, 9:16 AM
