hwayern··on An Indian village addicted to chess
Ha! Probably, honestly. I've never been too great at thinking way ahead.

There's something about needing to focus on a singular action that really helps you detach, I find. I don't think it's necessarily avoiding it - when you're detached and not thinking about it I think you give yourself space to reorient. Sometimes the world gets too noisy and you can't think straight.

That said, I once tried to relax by playing a chess game and I almost punched something I was so frustrated with how quiet and slow the game was ;)

Would be fascinating to see the different "Stonehenges" around the world.
