Sometimes I wonder why I even try to live in this world.
Then I remember that family, friends, and strangers depend on me.
The 20 to 80 hours I take to remember that are really hard on my girlfriend

I spent 3 waking hours without my phone. I talked with strangers, waded into a river, did a little bird watching tour, and discovered a bunch of free events in town. Thank God I don't have to do that again lol
