Boredom kills.

By contrast I had an extremely engaged day yesterday. It was filled with event. I got a haircut, met a friend, got on a bus on which a man took a piss, went to a supermarket and went for an unplanned tea with another friend I met there. Then I spent the night unable to sleep.

For some reason the outcome of such a fulfilling set of activities was that, returning home I found my isolation irritated my ability to sleep. I couldn’t just rest. I kept having to do things physically then mentally.

Now I’m drained and have an important meeting to go to. My friend Nick emailed me saying these posts may increase a sense of loneliness. Perhaps it’s loneliness that I’m aiming for to replace a feeling of isolation. It feels as though being alone is a feeling and can be addressed through activity where isolation is an enforced and accepted activity without focus. If boredom kills it’s sensible to avoid it. Being alone tends to induce boredom isolation seems to induce a frantic sense of seeking answers without a question. I’m tired and the day awaits.
