The usual distractions,
mindless entertainment
                      (Facebook
                       Reddit
                       YouTube)
When they do nothing to cease the quell.

The select books,
far away lands
                      (Douglas
                       Rowling
                       Colfer)
When they can't take you away from your mind.


Stomach pitches,
lead sinks to your feet,
and nothing will draw you up again.

                       
At least once a year I have a time where everything I do, every decision, person, activity makes me feel like Ive made a horrible mistake, or that something horrible will happen. Nothing ever does, but the feeling wont go away and I get jittery and jumpy (more than usual at any rate.)

The websites are the three I go to (besides deviantArt, obviously) the most. The authors are some of my favorites. I would also include John Green, but there are more "Green's" than there are Colfers....
