I Need a Break

There's too much going on right now. Way too much. I want to stop the world so I can get off.

I'm dating a man who is so into me, so emotional about it, that I'm starting to feel besieged. He wants more than I do, and he keeps wanting to have these long discussions about the relationship. I don't think I can handle this much longer. He's trying so hard to talk me into being his girlfriend, and the more he does it, the more I need a break from him.

Then, there's the political situation. It seems like a new scary/horrible thing happens about once an hour. Don't these f---ing politicians ever sleep? I'm doing what I can (making phone calls, signing petitions, etc.) but lately it seems like it's literally every hour. I wish I could get on a plane and then land on a remote island, like in LOST. It's beginning to feel like the MIB and the Others would be safer than the real world.

Oh, yeah, and with all this stress and anxiety going on in my head, I have to get my work done and act normal all day long.

Where's that plane to a remote island?

Weell, one good thing. A man is totally into you. That is good, yes? As I remember, a while back you doubted. ;-)

The whole political thing...I don't get the panic people seem to be feeling. There have been far worse situations in this country. We truly aren't going to change much about it.

A little small, but...
