The 54th Deadline: Monotony

I don’t get excited for days that much at the moment, and this is something that scares me. I feel like I have trapped myself in some kind of loop. It’s such a constant feeling of going through the motions. The monotony is real. Very real.

There are moments where I feel frustrated with myself because I can pinpoint what needs to change to shake things up. It’s the thing that frightens me more than anything else about it all. I am so aware.

Wake up, go to work, come home, go to sleep, wake up — repeat on most days.

It’s such a shame that things have reached this point, but who can I really blame but myself? I put myself in this situation, and I know I can get myself out if. Until then, I do feel compelled to ride the storm just a bit more when I have a better plan of attack in mind.
