"The secret of being miserable is to have the leisure to bother about whether you are happy or not. The cure is occupation."

I work part time because I usually go to school full-time. Due to an overlap in prerequisites I had to take a semester off as well as the summer which I usually do school through as well. I've never had this much time before and I have had so much time alone spent pondering this and that…I have always gotten “into my own head” quite easily even while living a very productive life but it's never been this bad. I have always been a happy person but recently I have been pondering my relationship with my girlfriend, my friends, my major in school, my job, moving out…When I found this quote randomly it put so much into perspective. I'm about to start working full-time as a CNA due to a feeling of nonproductivity and was looking up quote about staying positive at work since I know that's a stressful field. This quote made me feel so much better and I hope it can help someone else as well.
