Thanks to a chronic free running sleep disorder, I'm forced to live outside the normal bounds of society. I'm nowhere close to anything I'd call successful, but in order to make life more livable, I've adapted to a more 'in the moment' mindset where I go with the flow as I am able. I only really plan when there are important appointments to be kept, which thankfully aren't that often.

Disruptions to my 'normal' sleep rhythms are bad for my mental health so I gave up trying to conform to a socially acceptable model of living. I've had to diminish desire a great deal and I spend a lot of time alone, but it's the lesser of two evils given the choice.
