More often than not, I do things that are good for me. More often than not, when I do things that aren't good for me, they're unintentional/accidental.
Because seriously, who wants to be grounded in the summer time?
People are having bbqs and going to the beach and setting off fireworks and I am slowly deteriorating my eyesight by staring at this screen or reading articles online or learning how to write or reading a book.
People text me and find out I'm "grounded" (seriously, I don't know anyone else who is right now... or have been in the past 10 years). They try to meet up with me, find out the truth, and sympathize. I don't need your pity. I don't need a "wow that sucks" or a "don't be too bummed out" because I'm taking care of it.

I remember being in Taiwan on a July 4th about 3 summers ago. Only 3 summers ago. My aunt's husband was asking me if today of all days held any significance to me. At the time it didn't because I completely lost track of the time until he reminded me it was 7/4. He sort of chuckled when I said its formal name is Independence Day and then the topic naturally drifted over to Taiwanese political affairs. Typical.
Why do people on facebook keep wishing me a happy fourth of July. Like go away - I'm not celebrating it with you and you saying that doesn't make me any happier or any less grounded so shut upppp. I don't need anyone to say it. It's dumb.
