Re: Is it just me?

As a person commenting from the other side of world, all I can say is "been there... kinda done that?"

To elaborate: in Malaysia, there are several periods in the year in which there's literally nothing to do, mainly because of ethnic/cultural/religious celebrations. Until the last few years, all I do during these periods of nothingness is to sleep it off or go to the Internet, which only makes me view everything more monotonously as time goes on. The only thing that kept me from getting depressed is due to my mom and dad taking me to this wedding or that gathering, so that I'm not truly cut-off from the world.

Now, I try to avoid that by doing something and keeping myself engaged when the holidays arrive. There is a site called Alternatehistory.com where I have been visiting for over a year (and unfortunately making me stay away from F!S.) I now have a story/timeline of my own over there, so I have to write on a weekly/fortnightly basis to update it, making me engaged and have a deadline to set.

In my house there's a piano, a remannt from a time when my mom, my sister and I were in piano tuition. Recently, I've began learning how to play, on my own, Quelattio's "Blue Sea of 53 minutes" by ZUN , because of just how beautiful it sounds on YouTube. relearning where the fingers go is challenging, but I'm persevering it because of the music I can make again, as well as making me do something when I'm at home doing nothing.

Sometimes if the weather's good, I go to the local commuter station (if by local, I mean "the next 10 neighbourhoods over") and take the train to Kuala Lumpur so that my mind is engaged in exploring the city. I've discovered a lot on my own feet and my own eyes than through my usual family trips. Also, I can now go to one of my fav bookstores now! It might not sound like much, but in a country where driving is important to get to the best places, doing this is liberating for me.

So yeah, that's how I keep myself engaged when I feel down and monotone. It's not much, and I dunno how much this will help you or how will you apply it, but I hope it helps in at least some way. Take care.
