I guess this is more for those of us who come from worlds where there's some catastrophe or some world-ending thing happening and you're generally working to try and save your world from aforementioned catastrophe ...

I've been here for a few months now, and I kind of feel like I don't know what to do with myself. I went from having too much to do, too much to worry about, and now I'm in a position where I don't have that anymore (with the exception of the occasional weirdness that happens here, of course). I think I've read enough books that I've probably caused myself some major eye strain in the months I've been here, but otherwise I'm not exactly sure what to do with myself.

Does anyone else feel kind of like this? I think it might help me feel better to know I'm not alone in this.

Aside from that, though ... ]

Reading. I've done a lot of that since coming here.

Other than that ... I guess I haven't really had a lot of time before now to sort of figure that out for myself. Things have been kind of exploding back home for the last three years and we've had very limited bits of room to really breathe. And even before then, I was busy helping my Grandfather.

Back home, I've always had something to focus on and I didn't really have to look too far for it. Now, though, I don't really have that happening. It's something to really think about.

A fine hobby.

I think that's a reality most of us have had to grapple with. It took me a while to understand that this was my life now, and I had to figure out how to live it. Some days I still find myself at a loss.

So, basically. No need to rush or put any pressure on yourself.
