For as long as I can recall now, whenever people ask me how life is, I say, “Crazy and busy.” But if I’m always saying that, maybe crazy is the new normal?
It’s this thing called technology – a tool that lets me get away with multi-tasking and overbooking and telecommuting life – combined with my insatiable appetite for new experiences and more, more, more. Am I addicted to information? To fixing? To conversation? To caffeine? To challenge? And even… to stress? To flying by the seat of my pants?
I am always too busy, and always find myself saying yes. Sure, I can do that. I can handle that. That sounds exciting. Let’s do that. And yet I… can’t… get… enough. I love life so much, I think I’m squeezing it to get every last drop of experience out. And while it’s all good and fabulous that my can-do attitude has taken me on many adventures and through some epic opportunities, I am constantly exhausted. And I miss the friends I’ve made along the way. I’m the busiest bored popular lonely kid I know.
And I’m not sure what I’d do with myself if it ever wasn’t busy and crazy, for once.
Is it just me?





It's not just you, Cassie.
A long time ago people had to be alone with their thoughts for most of their lives. Today we have more distractions than we have ever had so that we almost never have to face that kind of introspection.. I think we're afraid of it.
