Like a box of chocolates

I just finished a difficult and draining week that I had until recently considered a break from the harrowing ritual of studying. I feel completely drained of life and the schedule ahead of me offers little to assuage my exhaustion ( Read more... )

Yo Ben, I liked your post too. I feel the same way as you do about boundaries. Things seemed a lot more possible when I was younger. Its frustrating that I won't get to do all the things I want to do and sad that a lot of the things I thought would always be are gone. It's still fun to dream though.

Life is alienating and meaningless; Happiness is fleeting and temporary.

Everything is fleeting and temporary- Joy, rage, sadness, comfort, bowel movements, health, orbit, life. We have the unique opportunity to experience this fleeting and temporary existence and while finding absolute meaning is important to us, every trivial moment can still mean something to each of us. I often forget to just let things be important.

For some reason being sad is so difficult for me. It takes me out of my existence and makes me retreat into my mind where it consumes me and grows disporportionate from reality. When I feel really sad I have to write about it and then go out and do something- whether it be reading, creating something, teaching something, or just talking. Anything to prevent the cloud of sadness from obscuring all the other life that's going on around me.
