Last night I was having so much fun at the club, dancing, getting lit.. and my girl turns to me and says “I can see in your eyes you’re sad” and I wonder how many other people notice

this somehow feels like an apt metaphor for the way my brain works (repetitive, Minnesotan, difficult to explain)

don’t get me wrong I am 1000% certain I am on the right path. but some days I am like man… did I really get sober to be this constipated and depressed

a little stunned that the Mountain Goats’ Tallahassee has become my comfort album… like why am I listening to “No Children” in order to self-regulate 🤔

I like that people talk in terms of emotional "regulation" now because the screendamaged yuppie jargon mis-identified as "therapy speak" is better understood as the cultivation of a total bureaucracy of the heart and at least "regulation" makes that explicit

googling “MJ Lenderman new girlfriend” instead of finishing the onerous soul-frying step work that will drag me through the depths of hell and leave me simultaneously incinerated and born anew

I'm not emotionally affected by casual dating. I'm just reading the poetry of Frank O'Hara for fun

and a few more!! stoked to keep doing this… I feel like it encourages me to fully inhabit the moment, embrace potential imperfection, and delight in delayed gratification/waiting to see what will be revealed. which are skills I very much need to develop lol (pun not intended)
