I’m having a bad day today. Nothing “bad” actually happened, per se, but I felt this overwhelming sense of loneliness when I woke up, and throughout the day, even when I had people around me, I felt so lonely. Even though I can be quite outgoing and from the outset seem to be an extravert, I actually think I’m more of an introverted person naturally. I’m usually very comfortable being alone, thinking about my surroundings and life in general. I like doing things that people do when they are alone: reading, organizing, perusing recipes and researching ingredients for a next dish, scrapbooking. These are one-person activities generally. But today, all of this annoys me. I don’t really want to do any of this, but at the same time, I don’t really feel like going out of my way to speak to someone or anyone. Today is just a dissatisfying day because of my mood. The 90-plus degree weather, for whatever reason, did not help it. I just want to sleep today.
