Crying

 I feel guilty for taking five minutes to write this blog post.

I feel guilty about watching TV for twenty minutes just to see what would happen.

I feel guilty for taking thirty minutes to check up on someone earlier today.

I feel guilty for crying because that means I'm taking time for myself.

I feel guilty because there are so many other things I have to do. How could I be so selfish as to give myself time to feel emotions? I have work to do.

I have more work to do.

That's enough personal time.

Three minutes to write this. My work needs the other two.
