I've been reflecting on my work a lot lately.  I think that comes with putting together a book, and meeting goals you set for yourself.  I find myself in a weird place where I am nearing having finished a lot of the long term goals I set in my early 20's

I'm still young, but I do want to slow down.   I do want to be able to take the time it takes to think, and recall what I want to do.  It feels like I have been going going going even in this massive slowdown.  

I don't have the same time alone with my thoughts as I did when the world was shooting by my car window.  When I'm stationary I am retouching, or I am watching a show, or talking.

I need to make more time to be alone with myself.  The best of ideas come from that.
