I may have made this post before, I can’t remember. The crux is when you have a lot to say, but nothing you want to share. When everything that is going on is so personal that just the motion of putting it down into words is too much to cope with.
We use social media and we post a picture of our lunch, or an achievement, or something pretty that we see and as much as that thing (much like this thing) seems so important at the time it very quickly fades and becomes less important. It more becomes about the structure of or the sum total of everything that we think over a period of time that paints a picture of who we are. We can stress about our homes, our work, our friends or our family, but so quickly like the picture of last week’s lunch on the Tuesday afternoon that we went out with a friend, it disappears from our consciousness. It was important at the time, but not so much now.
Grand things can happen, things that recontextualise our thought processes. These things can be positive or negative. A change in perspective often leads us to seeing things as others may do. Those who have criticised, or have not understood our choices – perhaps after one of these changes we ourselves no longer see the decisions we made in the past as sensible, that we suddenly warm to the opinions we once found so abstract and obscure, that we did not understand.
I don’t know man, there’s so much going on right now and I don’t know what to do. I just do what I have to do. I keep going. And you should keep going too.
