You can get lonesome, being that busy.
-Isabel Lennart
Workaholics are lonely people. Our work is like a jealous lover. It demands more and more of us. we see ourselves becoming progressively isolated from those who are important to us. We schedule lunches two weeks in advance so that we can keep up social contact with friends and then we have to break or postpone these lunches because “something has come up.” we get “antsy” if we are interrupted; we get irritable if someone stops by to talk because we want to get back to our work. We often don’t know we are lonely because we don’t stop long enough to let ourselves know what we are feeling.
IT IS GOOD to be productive, and busyness is no substitute for intimacy.
YOU KNOW YOU LOVE ME
XOXO
