I found this old excerpt I had written a few years ago. The funny thing is, I don't remember why I wrote it, or what it is in reference to. All I know is that every once and a while I just write down a constant stream of thoughts, and this is one of those streams. Anyways, I thought it would be neat to share it with everyone:
"What are my assumptions on life? What are the constants? What am I looking for?
Am I changing? Yes. Is it a bad thing? No. I feel like... I don't know what I feel. This is the road block. He thinks I'm diminishing.
Am I? I'm not sure. On the one hand, I am acting differently, I am changing. But does this change come at the cost of a sacrifice? Am I compromising myself? He seems to think so, but I'm not convinced.
His interpretation of compromise and my interpretation of compromise are different. This is exactly what is happening - I have the answers now.
I am changing, but not compromising, because I'm following what my essence is telling me. Outsiders looking in might think I'm selling out, but it's not true. I'm following what I feel is right, which isn't compromising. I can only do what my essence tells me to do at any given moment.
That issue is now resolved.
UPDATE: I don't know anything."
Is that cryptic or what? Who the hell am I referring to when I say "he"? I really can't remember.
Stay classy.
Lol, this is why nicknames are so important in anonymous writings.
ReplyDeleteHaha, apparently my thoughts are anonymous
ReplyDeleteI think "he" may be referring to myself, in which case I'd be arguing with myself in my head.
ReplyDeleteI still don't know what the last part, "UPDATE: I don't know anything." means though
@_@
You still may not know anything, however you may be able to "feel" more. Stay in the heart and not the mind...
ReplyDeleteYou make a very good point. The original meaning of that passage may be lost, but I can always reinterpret it differently depending on my life situation
ReplyDeleteBut what do you mean stay in the heart and not the mind? My mind is very logical, whereas my heart is unpredictable and has the potential to make me act in less than favorable ways
*first anon*
ReplyDeleteI liked it better when your thoughts were legion..
Maybe "he" is someone from whom you once sought advice.
Our thoughts ARE legion.
ReplyDeleteHaha, wait, there's more than one anonymous in this thread? You should all just tell me who you are to make this a lot easier
