"A writer is someone for who writing is more difficult than other people", I can't remember what that was from.
Being able to get time to myself is really a central tension in my life right now, and has been for years - it's always been difficult for me to explain why, because being what it's like I don't feel comfortable talking about it. Usually it just makes people think I must have some reason for disliking them, which is what I'm trying to avoid having to deal with by sacrificing perfectly good "me" time to them in the first place. I can't even say it's writing time because then where's all that writing I'm supposed to be doing? Show me the writing!
Thank you for having posted this. It was bittersweet but it felt cathartic to read.
