Melancholy Paradox

2024-05-13T11:15:30+00:00

Recently I have been craving solitude.
It's strange since so much of my life has been driven by
companionship and socialisation.
I sort of have everything I've ever wanted, a dream job,
a life long companion, financial security
and future growth prospects.
Yet.
I feel the intrusive urge to throw it away.
It's as if I WANT to become a hikki.
Im well aware how privilidged I am to contemplate this, it disgusts me in a way.
So is this just a manifestation of selfdestructive tendencies?
Or am i trying to fly to close to the NEET sun?
Was Diogenes wise to become a hobo-maxing NEETma grindset enthusiast?
Niavely romanticising a dilapidated empty flat with nothing
but the echoing keys of a dumpster laptop and stolen WIFI.
In more important and relevant matters:
How often do you wash your sheets?
I want to wash them weekly, but have failed this routinne so far.

It's good to send emails to friends.

2024-01-12T19:32:44+00:00

As life goes on, and we separate from people we cared about before,
it remains a great practice to send emails to old friends every now
and then.

It's not essential AT ALL to make a Facebook / Instagram / Tiktok
/ LinkedIn / whatever to stay in touch with old friends. If anything,
people are more likely to keep their old mail address as trendy
spyware apps come and go.

Equally, it's easier to keep a friend's mail address for long spans
of time than phone numbers -- and the kinds of communications we make
over email tend to be more meaningful than the kinds we may make on
text-adjacent platforms like Whatsapp or Signal, Telegram, etc.

Do you ever send mails to your old pals?
When was the last time you sent a personal email?

If you know any old friends' emails, maybe this thread can serve as
a timely reminder to fire them off a message. Or, maybe it can serve
as inspiration to exchange email addresses with your friends today.

I hope this thread can encourage you to write someone an email,
or save someone's email address if you don't have many. Email is a
great way to maintain friendships over time and distance -- even if
it's "not trendy" it's also not bad! You would be surprised about
how many people would be pleased to get an email that's not spam
from GoogBookBankShopApp and take the time to write a caring,
thoughtful response back to you.

sharing feeling and perspective morphs into an insult
I foolishly spilt what I wanted private, how stupid of me.
now it's sighing, begging for a pity party
murky thinking., my paper isn't safe either,
they hope to glean what? wants?
once I showed them a possibility of positivity or justice
they feared my hubris and punishment and told them
and they presumed to know me, my beliefs, my logic
and pretended like it was for my
protest our suffering with outlook. own good not to
## and "care" never passed career.
I can't be private, can't be public, what good is it to be a person?
and just when I nearly came off as frustrated & angered, then I
lamented & secluded []
