1. We neeeeeed the rain. 2. It still amazes me how concise and eloquent y'all motherfuckers can be even when writing a lot/drunk/hung ov/emotionally charged. 3. I admit I was obsessed with k for a minute 'cause he sounded much smahter than me when he replied to a comment and that can be infuriating when you feel more comfortable following certain internet trialogue edicate. Wanting to make the insightful yet just-pithy-enough response, I'm always afraid of someone calling me out on my bulsh and I'm still shocked when they do and I get defensive and paranoid. 4. Now in my experience, we're all just talking to ourselves, trying to convince yourself through others. But online you have time to edit and review your entries, creating a persona that doesn't really reflect the much of the real you. Or maybe showing who you want to be is actually more telling of yourself.

I think they could just have Malory say, "oh my god, we have to change our name!" And sterling argue against it. Then by the end of the episode he's for it. Or was I just writing some fan fic?

I usually try not to encourage people to pursue art...but that painting is almost haunting. It reminds me of some snowy photos I once saw online. They depict that feeling of isolation so damn well.

I've been up all night and I feel like this:

Really hit home with a lot of what you said. Reaally appreciate your advice and I've been putting off therapy half because I'm afraid I'll just immediately start sobbing and screaming and half because I'm afraid I won't.

Things only make sense when we look back and can trace all the steps. This world structure that we adhere to is unnatural and has developed into an unnatural atmosphere of always having to be "on" and ready and making the right moves to your goals. We're monkeys. Things don't really make clear sense and it's all in our heads in the end so what's the truth?

I don't know. A few months before graduation I accepted that I choosing the path of least resistance and had been for even just going to college in the first place.. But even choosing not to pursue journalism and play rock'nroll was just the first step of many (see, hindsight) to realize that I had been trying to deceive myself for a long time and take the easy way. Like I didn't deserve the chance to even try. And still I feel like a scam artist

"A man is whatever room he's in." I've really struggled lately with the truth of this.

I find myself at a loss for words when I encounter someone who seemingly cannot entertain the notion of the opposing position.

If you have a group of people who can admit they don't really know for sure you get much better conversation and food for thought. Plenty of people look to play devil's advo for even the most supposedly one sided arguments. Since I'm really only in this to further my own insight i'm not looking to convince anyone of anything, really.

Now I'm curious about these plans..

onlythelonly  ·  3600 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Thanks Hubski Devs for the New Mobile Browser!

Oh I wanted to say something too. I've been hoping for a mobile version and it works great, thanks!

I feel like i'm climbing out of a fog I've wallowed in since I was a teenager.

Oh man I do not envy salaried employees. They got you by the balls these days, don't they?

Anyway putting on airs bullshitting. Pretending to be something you're not. La di da and all that. Not sure how you'd work that into conversation...try it with an English accent.
