(nothing much..just getting some icky feelings out
)
I inadvertently went in for therapy today
Stopping by a coworkers office to talk about life and happiness and asking for help and thinking just maybe that sometimes I want exactly what I fight against—that simplicity is my yearning--what I envy when I see it in others’ lives.
We are the products of the world around us, of our generation and our country. The habits of those passing before us cause us to act in ways we are unsure of, except to know that “this is what we are”...which often becomes bland rhetoric when we try offer explanations. We will never know if our choices are our own, or if they were right, or led to our utmost happiness. I’ll never have what they have because somewhere along the line I volunteered to carry some baggage that wasn’t mine and constructed an agenda that I relentlessly hold myself to.
When simple emotions and actions are taken as something larger, you are never really allowed their pure experience.
