  So yesterday I was thinking to myself about how I used to have a lot more friends than I do know. I thought that maybe I'm depressed and need to get out more.
But then it hit me. Maybe I was too dependent on those around me, for some sort of social validation. I wasn't always like that. I grew up an only child. I spent a lot of time alone. Even when I lived in the black hole known as Virginia, I pretty much just kept to myself. Why this sudden need to be surround by others? No clue. So I've decided to conduct a social experiment.
I'm not gonna contact any of my friends (read: friend singular) for a few days. Can I live with not calling, not been called, not hanging out with others? I think I can. Then if it goes well, I might try it for a week, maybe more. Gradually, I'll start to cherish my alone time. I'll try to get some reading done. Listen to some music. And I am gonna limit my video game time to a max of 2 hours per day.
Harsh, I know. But it's time I take back my life and rediscover who I really am and who I want to be. I'll be checking in after the weekend. Maybe this is just what I need to get me out of this funk I've been in the past months. Only time will tell.
