Absence Makes The Heart Grow Fonder

I didn't see the girl today. The current holder of my heart. I thought it would be horrible, and it was in the beginning. But then I started moving, and I never stopped.

I did laundry, sent e-mails, downloaded programs, and applied other much needed maintenance to my life. It was largely unimportant to my academic career and it certainly didn't help my social standing, but I'll go to bed tonight knowing today wasn't a wasted day. I had time to think, and the value of that can never be underestimated. While I've been feeling especially self-destructive lately, this space to breathe helped a whole lot.
