The Plan

The plan is to hide away somewhere without anybody else to disturb me and to exorcise all my ghosts, and anything else that is making me act crazy.

I keep wavering over this decision, wondering whether it's a good idea to shut myself away in a place without, well, anything. No TV, no Internet. Well I can get Internet if I want, but it may just very well defeat the purpose of my "rustication". After all, the point is to 1) take a break, that is assuming that I'm burnt out, or 2) shut myself away and write down all my bottled up feelings, assuming that I have demons to exorcise.

Will it work? Will I really come back from the break a whole new person with a fresh new perspective, with all my demons exorcised and all my bad habits changed and all my irritability gone? Or I may just come back  the same person that went there, just minus the eye bags?

Will there be any point to this whole exercise?
