This is almost over. This challenge of writing for a year. I thought it would be the perfect challenge for the year I moved away from everything I knew and took on the world. I would branch out, be more adventurous, have those life experiences everyone talks about. That didn't really happy though.
The thing is I am a creature of habit in a lot of ways. I enjoy my life of seclusion. I suppose I would be more willing to venture out if there was someone pushing me to do so, but then with Sandra here I see that isn't always the case either. She will want to go watch a jazz band perform and I will consider it but ultimately veto the idea in favor of some more laying in bed on computer time.
At the end of this year I can safely say I am in the same state I was when I started it. Not any more evolved or worldly, not more accustomed to people, not less uptight. Really, it taught me how uptight I really am. When ads say they want laid-back people to respond, I know that is not me. The small things matter to me. An unlocked door. A product of mine not as I left it. Cats pissing on my rugs....I care about those things.
