Treatment

 Treatment:-

I'm tired.

This is a strange and foreign mixture of fatigue and defiance that I've never really felt before.

I'm tired, but stubbornly still clinging onto the idea of myself as a functioning adult, working through this thing like anything else, like when I was in school and when I had a day job and when I could make an effort to go out or do something with friends.

Today, this thought and drive and motivation is gone. It's just gone and all that's left is this strange mix of exhaustion and indifference. The feeling that sometimes you get when you're in bed at 9pm on a Friday night and it feels good that right now you're allowed to be just the idle stupor filled mess you are because there's no where you have to be tomorrow morning.

A few weeks ago, my dad called me up.

Google Authorship

is getting to be a thing. It's where you can add yourself to any page you're an author on, and your name will show up in the google search results for that page, as well as on the google maps page, etc. I was proud of this. I'd never really used it before, but my mom was always using it to promote our business on her blog and now I wanted to get in on it too.

We talked for a bit about how I've been feeling lately, and I asked if I could use his google account for the profile. He was fine with it.

He told me that I should write a post about what I'm feeling, and that I should get some pictures and use them as.

He didn't know how I felt, and I didn't know how to describe it to him. I didn't know how to say "I'm feeling a bit lazy, and I don't feel like I have any drive or motivation to do anything" without sounding like a brat.

So I did what I always do.

I wrote about it.

So there's this thing that people seem to be into these days, and that's 'following' or 'liking' someone on facebook. I'm sure you've all seen it, and I'm sure you all know what it is, but I don't.

I just looked it up and it's called 'following' and you can do it by.
