I've been busy lately with trying to get back in the groove of working full time and trying to find a balance with a normal routine again. I'm so tired lately! I'm at work 46+ hours a week and I'm still trying to get used to it. I guess after almost a year of crafting and having my own hours, it's going to take a while.
Well, I haven't been much on the social network lately but I have been observing shall we say... Not just online, but in life. Online I've noticed that people are really sensitive and it's almost as though they expect you to share the EXACT same opinion as them and if you don't... they unfriend, unfollow, un-whatever you. I remember the days when it was actually okay to say something that was of differing opinion of someone else and it was ACCEPTED! O_O yes... those days did exist at one point in time.
On another note, I've found that waking up early and watching the news every day does absolutely nothing for my paranoia. It just makes me sad.
I'm also closing down my website. I don't keep up with it and I don't want to pay for it. Besides, my blog and etsy are really my means of communication now anyway. I've been thinking about doing it for about a year now and I'm going to do it. I need new business cards anyway. :)

"Avoid popularity if you would have peace."
I was just thinking that I'd like to be more political so I could sound more intellectual to those people who think that the more you know about politics, the smarter you are. You know the type right? I mean, I'm not completely ignorant on the subject, I just try not to get too involved in things anymore. You see, I have this tendency to get obsessed with things. I mean obsessed. I blame my OCD. To answer your question, no, I don't have the cool kind of OCD where I get obsessive about cleaning and organization, I have a stupid counting compulsion (another blog, for another day).
I remember when I was younger I became obsessed with the first election I was like 4 months shy of being able to vote for. It was shitty. It consumed the majority of my time. I try not to let things do that to me anymore. It's just frustrating to me because there is so much other shit that I enjoy doing rather than spending my time obsessing over things that give me anxiety.
Ah, my anxiety, yet another reason I prefer NOT to become so political. I've noticed that a lot of political people tend to be, well, aggressive (for lack of a better word). It's like you say something they don't agree with and I'll be damned if they don't do research for 3 hours to try to rip you a new asshole. It's like, damn can't we just agree to disagree?
So rather than spend my time becoming political and arguing about things that I know for a fact are just going to be a waste of time because 1) it's hard to change people's convictions when it comes to politics, and 2) I really don't want to change people's opinions I just want to state mine, I just spend my time becoming well rounded in other aspects of life.
I enjoy learning about many different things. I like watching documentaries. I like reading a shit ton of books. I love researching different artistic mediums. I love research, period. I love doing crafts. I love watching my animals interact and just watching their behavior in general. I also spend tons of time over thinking pretty much, everything.
I don't necessarily think that makes me boring or uneducated by any means as some "political" people may think, I'm just not willing to get into a pointless argument (yes, it's pointless to me because anything that causes anxiety for absolutely no reason is pointless) on a daily basis to defend my opinions. I have them, they are there. I'll voice them on other subjects, but not to someone who will get so aggressive and be willing to rip me a new one just to make themselves feel superior (congrats, you tore down an unstable person).
So maybe I was wrong at the beginning... maybe I was thinking I'd like to become less political? ;)
*side note: if this blog made you want to rip me a new asshole, then you may be political.
