You ever double dose on meds because you thought you forgot? Me too.

'Prayer,' says Alain, 'is when night descends over thought.' 'But the mind must meet the night,' reply the mystics and the existentials. Yes, indeed, but not that night that is born under closed eyelids and through the mere will of man – dark, impenetrable night that the mind calls up in order to plunge into it. If it must encounter a night, let it be rather that of despair, which remains lucid – polar night, vigil of the mind, whence will arise perhaps that white and virginal brightness which outlines every object in the light of the intelligence

“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.”

Someone asked "What generation are you?

...and I had to stare into space as I thought about how I felt.

The Lost Generation maybe...then, realized that that would make me like 120 years old or something like that.

I sipped my coffee as my mind lost focus and I drifted for a bit on the wave of ennui that came for me.

the mind was not made to be satisfied. we are happiest when in a state of eternal yearning. feeling things is the purpose of living

ok is anyone else constantly surprised and disheartened by the complete lack of ‘life changing’ moments? Like I feel media has completely skewed my perception of life. 

there’s never any time where I’ve heard a specific song or seen a particular sunset or heard a homeless person say something that is so utterly profound that I never look at the world the same way again. Graduations are just another day, I might meet the love of my life on an unassuming Tuesday. 

change, either personal or external, is often such a gradual thing that it doesn’t even feel like its happening sometimes. 

Anyway, hope y’all are having a good Monday :)
