I had a conversation with a very good friend and I like to tell myself "I can be myself with her, no matter what", but I came to the startling conclusion that even with one my dearest friends I can trust myself to be myself. To provide context, we were discussing 'self-love' and how I did not have any of it. She said that it was necessary for me to have it and to be greedy once in awhile. I tried to rebut but I could not think of anything. Her reasoning was sound and it made sense. After the phone call and I was left alone with myself I realized that I had this conversation with myself before and came to a totally different conclusion but forgot about in the face of a real conversation with a real person. Why was this? It wasn't random thought I had well playing the 82nd round of Gun Battle Slap 5 on my PlayBox2, I had conceived one of my most solid and grounding philosophies over the course of many introspective moments- it was very real and one of the single most pivotal moments of the creation of my self. How did I forget it as soon as it became relevant?
If you were wondering what my philosophy is (I BET YOU ARE), it's quite simple. I do not have any self-love because I consider myself to be not anything more than a tiny, insignificant bit of carbon. My life is short, unimportant and without much reason. But OTHER people- those guys are going places. They seem to have dreams and aspirations and goals. Why can't I be the supporting character in their blockbuster life adventure? I can be the Alfred to their Batman, the Watson to their Sherlock or the Shaggy to their Scooby. What is wrong with being second fiddle. It's not a question of laziness or self-sacrifice, it's simply the choice of being happy while helping other people.
So, you can see there is some thought behind this principle, why the hell did I forget it with such gusto? This happens all the god damn time. I don't have an answer why. Is it fear? Could it be the result of an awful memory or what happens when you haven't had much sleep? I don't know. I feel like the more I ponder about it the more empty and upset I get over it. It's like being a bridle cast of an idea, so easily crumbled that it isn't even worth trying to be a human being. But I want to try, I just don't know where to start. I know at the very least I am, but I don't know what 'am' is.
I doubt our ancestors crawling out of the primordial soup had these problems.
Look at this guy. Not a goddamn care in the goddamn world.
Only thing on his mind is 'where my tyrana-bitches at'

You had a blog post and you deleted it! I was ready to feel excluded from yet another pop culture loop; you could even say I had tremors of psychitude to read anything you'd published online only to realize YOU DELETED WHATEVER GREATNESS YOU WROTE. Damn you to hell.
ReplyDeleteagree'd
ReplyDeleteOi, Madre! Your blog posts mean more to me than pesto (that's right). Get cracking. Okay. Don't feel obligated and turn in something shoddy (impossible ... )
ReplyDeleteJust keep it in a stress-free corner of your mind that my anticipation for whatever satirically witty thing you write is much like the Cruciatus Curse, only a painless version (you keep imagining that). I swear this is the last time I have the gall to nag you via Interwebs (no promises for in-person nagging).
Many oxen and shit.
