I want to be alone.

I don’t want to talk to anyone. Only my dog. ‘Don’t talk to me in the morning’ is now extended to my whole day.

I just want to read and play melancholy acoustic music. I feel depressed by the weather, see no end to the dreadful winter, and am irritated by every noise and person I hear. Please let it be over.
