“hasaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan i must inform you of a wildly wildly strange thing that occurred to me today as i wandered the hallway. i was at my locker and atish was there and randomly talking to me after i was returning your physics book, and when i opened your locker and put it in there i dunno. seeing all the mess and chaos and knowing how you were gonna be in none of my classes and i dunnooooo i felt this rush of somewhat motherly protective affection and i felt sad. so yeah i think i am going to adopt you as my own relative.”

‘I exist.’ In thousands of agonies — I exist. I’m tormented on the rack — but I exist! Though I sit alone in a pillar — I exist! I see the sun, and if I don’t see the sun, I know it’s there. And there’s a whole life in that, in knowing that the sun is there.

Wordy Mollification Rap God 1

What is a lyric? a panegyric, a comforting way to say hey “I’ve gotten lost” wordy mollification is all it cost set free upon a wordy sea, drifting aloft now searching for an answer the cadence becomes a cancer, the idea is the better dancer, Wondering where to go next?

let it leave you perplexed -- now that your body’s flexed the idea moves you, forward toward an order you could only dream through your mind’s brushwork this symbiosis exists and persists despite when insecurity’s militia resists idea body and mind will whittle out meaning until you find the light lost once, clear now, truth aligned.

Anxiety ramblings

Who doesn’t suffer anxiety?

If the human being were not a temporally conscious being, then there would be no concept of the future or past. There would be no fear, no regret, nor any notion of consequences in either direction to dwell over or predict. There would be no question over the self that is constantly unfolding, no clutching at the reigns of circumstances always bucking under one’s control.

Thrownness

Thrownness (German: Geworfenheit) is a concept introduced by German philosopher Martin Heidegger (1889–1976) to describe our individual existences as “being thrown” (geworfen) into the world. Geworfen denotes the arbitrary or inscrutable nature of Dasein that connects the past with the present. The past, through Being-toward-Death, becomes a part of Dasein. Awareness and acknowledgment of the arbitrariness of Dasein is characterized as a state of “thrown-ness” in the present with all its attendant frustrations, sufferings, and demands that one does not choose, such as social conventions or ties of kinship and duty. The very fact of one’s own existence is a manifestation of thrown-ness. The idea of the past as a matrix not chosen, but at the same time not utterly binding or deterministic, results in the notion of Geworfenheit—a kind of alienation that human beings struggle against,[2] and that leaves a paradoxical opening for freedom - Wikipedia

Hold childhood in reverence, and do not be in any hurry to judge it for good or ill. … You assert that you know the value of time and are afraid to waste it. You fail to perceive that it is a greater waste of time to use it ill than to do nothing, and that a child ill taught is further from virtue than a child who has learnt nothing at all. You are afraid to see him spending his early years doing nothing. What! is it nothing to be happy, nothing to run and jump all day?
