Lack of motivation.
Like, I don't fucking know. I am not depressed at the moment, atleast not nearly as much as I was all year, but like, I have 13 fucking unfinished short stories sitting in my God damned folder, I have 3 unfinished programming projects sitting in my fucking folder, I have my fucking notebook sitting on my desk with a pencil next to it ready to be written in with like 10 tabs open with the material I need to write down to help me along with learning fucking Prolog, but I just don't want to fucking do any of it.
