Notes
my mind is glitching. itās been like this since the morning. no, actually for several weeks, i havenāt been able to concentrate properly. my attention is scattered in every direction. i feel a need to do something, to create, but at the same time, i canāt bring myself to do anything. iām anxious. i constantly think that i should be doing something else, no matter what iām doing. how do i break out of this vicious cycle?
maybe i should actually be doing my job… but why? whether i do it now or someone else does it in six months — it makes no difference. am i a scammer? maybe.
i feel like iāve always been a scammer. until now, everything has come to me quite easily. without much effort, i sailed through high school, got into college, and completed my bachelorās degree. what if i was just good at scamming everyone and nobody ever caught me? now, i feel as if everyone else got some memo that i missed. itās like the world has become more complicated and suddenly my scams are not enough.
for four years in school, i comforted myself thinking that this early awakening from youthful ignorance was good, that i had time to prepare, that when the real confrontation with the world came, i would be ready, a step ahead of the others. but now, i donāt feel that way. iām not ready, not ahead, just four years more anxious without having learned much.
whatās next?
the laughter of quiet people sounds the sweetest
in desperate need of singing lordeās supercut at the top of my lungs
Confusion is the engine of my writing.
missing the thrill of crushing on someone, not knowing if they even notice me, summoning the courage to make a move, and experiencing the sweet sensation of discovering that the crush was mutual
iām no longer afraid of my half-baked thoughts. the āi have nothing to write about, nothing to sayā was mostly a disguise for uncertainty in my own opinions.
when we say things like āi will love you foreverā or āi will never leave you,ā itās not really about how much we can actually promise that, because none of it can be guaranteed. itās more about believing in it at that particular moment.
entering rebuilding phase
Thatās just the fucking human experience.
when building a community, the ļ¬rst step is friendship; tools come later.
trying to bind together a group of strangers with complex tools rarely works.
