The dark living room of the soul ...
Apr. 13th, 2010 01:27 am... wherein I have bruised my shins on the hidden coffee table that is my judgments about myself.
The black body behavior of my emotions and desires seems to be that I can only tell what's going on when the system is in a high stress/high energy state. Since under normal circumstances I have no clear vision of my wants or feelings, I have to repeatedly subject myself to periods of high excitation in order to keep any kind of self-knowledge going on. I feel like I need to do drugs again. :(
To create new goals and stress-test my system, I've been working on THE LIST by reading whatt I wrote down in last year's day-planner + notebook + yellow legal pad that went along with the end of last year. It's fucking with my head. The number of things I forget in a month's time is appalling to me for a number of reasons. ( Let me enumerate them. )
I base a lot of my feelings of value in my use of my mind. This is terrifying to me.
