I love you morning pages, but you are an illusive beast. Everyday I have to pray the muses are gracious enough to visit me so I’m not left empty handed. I don’t really ever plan on looking back at my morning pages, though I do like the concept of seeing what I was thinking thisContinue reading “Two things I’ve been listening to lately are Jordan Peterson and Eminem”

To the dreams you’ve been waiting for
Welcome back Chris, we’ve been waiting for you. Tell us more of your secrets. I need a compelling story and the only way you’ll be a good character is to have more depth. Then you’ll be replaced with a robot version… nah this whole line of thought is trash. I liked the idea of myContinue reading “To the dreams you’ve been waiting for”
Day of Recognizing
What a whirlwind of a day. I met up with Lee today to see if I would like to do some work for him and it went well. I talked to one of the guys from woodworking that was a philosophy major, and I reached out to him! Had a good drawing day, did dinnerContinue reading “Day of Recognizing”
Never Dare Sit Bare in a Leather Chair
I’ve got my live drawing class today, it starts at 6pm. I hate having obligations later in the day because it feels like a weight I have to drag around all day. I keep going, “Ok, this many more hours till I have to leave for that.” A place I would like to get toContinue reading “Never Dare Sit Bare in a Leather Chair”
Kierkegaard is an Absolute Unit
I was doing my mindfulness and wanted to think more on the experience. The idea of mindfulness is something taught during the group therapy, so I haven’t done it since we last met in November. What I do is sit still for five minutes a day and try to keep my mind quiet. It’s theContinue reading “Kierkegaard is an Absolute Unit”
Ozymandias
Today was my first day back at group therapy, it’s oddly satisfying to see those people again and sad that some are gone. It’s sold as a three module course that each consist of meeting once a week for 8 weeks. I think there’s a bond between people because you’re talking about a part ofContinue reading “Ozymandias”
Why is pleasure seeking so powerful?
Obviously we want good things, but the immediate pleasures lead to me hating myself. I know there’s some stone that has to be turned so I can not have that as my default reaction, but the cycle will still stand. Is it because I can’t really see into the future like my mind things itContinue reading “Why is pleasure seeking so powerful?”
Write for Rights Sake
When I last left off in my book, I had the infinite. It seems to be a problem because in the face of it we are nothing and actions are meaningless. I always believed that doing the right thing was only good if a person’s primary motivation for doing it was because they thought itContinue reading “Write for Rights Sake”
Try and Stop Me
Good evening pages, sorry I’ve been writing you so lately. I just haven’t really had my heart in writing these. I fear any day now that I will stop doing it. On one hand I think that I don’t need to do this, it’s just another bore. I guess that’s a childish attitude. I’ll tryContinue reading “Try and Stop Me”
Serving up a side of existential dread
Maybe someday I’ll get around to writing that book. I wanted myself to answer the question, “What does evil do?” The problem is that was a prompt prepared by yesterday Chris, today Chris is a completely different person, he doesn’t want to talk about evil. I mean I do and always want to, but whatContinue reading “Serving up a side of existential dread”
