much wisdom is such grief

literature, mail art, existential angst

So tired of messing up. When will I learn that isolating myself from socirty is the only way not to feel the nagging guilt for being mysel?

I hate feeling gult for taking dumb desitions as a character. It's been the second time when my DM got upset because of my actions and doubted their own ability to make me act according to their own plan and logic. Whereas I am just... I don't know... An average player with my own shortcomings who can easilly adapt and take criticism?

I wish my shortcomings and misunderstanding didn't upset people personally. It feels like roleplaying gives me more emotional labor and guilt complex than enjoyment.

Writing letters is an interesting hobby. Initially I picked it up for the sake of mental release: there's no rush and just enough time to carefully think the reply over.

But this unlimited time to think my message over ofteb leads me to strange places like serious takes on merits of efilism or my honest review of "The Story of the Eye" or just snobbish roasting of shitty poetry slam I've recently visited. It's not a big deal, yes, npthing is a big deal on the internet, but I know little to nothing of the people I exchange letters with. I only know them from the carefully curated glimpses of their selves which may or may not reflect their actual level of openness to counterintuitive themes.

Writing lettters is an interesting hobby. What I value the most about it is this is the opportunity to form a curated, controlled intimacy - but intimacy nonetheless. That's why I am a trembling creature each time I reread my own letter and spot a line that might put an end to this equilibrium. Have I overstepped? And if yes, was their shattered temple of controlled intimacy worthy of my rawness?
