I KNOW YOU'RE A RECLUSE, BUT THAT IS NO EXCUSE

Lately, I feel like such a recluse. All I want to do is eat books and drink ginger tea alone in my room. Part of this has to do with the fact that I was sick for a week, but I also think my new roommate has something to do with it. He's there before I leave in the morning and he is usually there in the evenings. I’m starting to wonder if I unconsciously check off that box in my head marked “daily social interaction” because I feel like he gives me so many things I need. But there is really no such person in all the world and this situation is starting to make me feel a bit lonely.
