it's a strange paradise

you'll be waiting (header by holly warburton)

the thing is that sometimes it really does feel like someone took a knife baby edgy and dull and cut a six inch valley through the middle of my skull. it does feel like that you know. no other way to describe that feeling i think

I fear I keep falling into the trap of "if I can do it it clearly doesn't take any skill/talent and is therefore no longer impressive" and I don't think that mindset is beneficial for me (feels bad), people at a similar skill level as me (feel like their skills and efforts aren't impressive), people at a higher skill level (diminishes the work they've put in to be at this level) and people that struggle with it (if it's not a skill that takes work they "shouldn't be struggling")

"impulse buy" (noun) anything I have been low-key thinking about purchasing for 3 months, an item that subsequently spent 24-48 hours in my cart as I went through each and every state of grief, and which I then bought, in a desperate, the-guilt-can't-get-me-if-I'm-fast-enough rush.

I don't know if I'm articulating this right but one of my favorite feelings is when something still manages to hit me the same way things did when I was young enough for life to feel fresh and completely unexplored.

You get to some point in life and you start bringing all of yourself into everything you interact with.

That's also not bad but it feels different.

Sometimes there's a strange comfort in being hit by something in a way that drowns you out.

[eldritchbauble]

I need to have the wind knocked out of me by things still being new from time to time.

It keeps the soul from shrinking.

[eldritchbauble]

It doesn't have to be a big, life-changing event, either. You find it in doing things intentionally.
