The media are not toys… they can be entrusted only to new artists, because they are art forms.
(McLuhan, 1954)

It feels like the same things happen every single day. I wake up and go through my morning routine, including 108 bow meditation. I have breakfast and start working on book design projects until I go for a run around 4 p.m. After having dinner, I either go to work at the church or rest. I write a diary entry before going to bed.
I do have free time—I spend it watching movies, TV shows, reading books, and writing, like I am now. But still, my days feel tightly packed, almost as if there’s no space for leisure.
I think it’s because I haven’t been drinking lately. After drinking, I lose focus for a couple of days, which creates a kind of forced relaxation. I’ve decided not to drink, at least until I get a book designer’s job—because right now, I can’t afford that kind of relaxation.
