Conjured Activism

conquering the world one oxymoron at a time

weird mood

Last summer, I felt like I was living a movie, and rightfully so. There were ups and downs and dramas and coincidences and strange situations that could only appear all together in a movie, yet it was my life.

Today, I once again felt like I was in a movie, except where were the extraordinary events? It was such an ordinary day, yet I felt tears welling up twice, for no real apparent reason that I could verbalize. I think I just lost direction, or I never had one to begin with.

While semi-cleaning my apartment yesterday, I came across some canvases, brushes, and oils I had bought a while ago, as in about 4 years ago. That made me dig out some old old sketches I kept, and reminded me of how I wanted to go sit out in Killian Court on a sunny afternoon and just sketch out the dome. I thought about the art classes that I wanted to take, but never managed to get enough resolve to sign up for. All that was planned for last summer. I never got to those things that would make me happy, nor did I get any real work done for my research, my life right now. Every time a month passes by, I look back and wonder just how it was that I managed to accomplish nothing in the past month, yet the days just flow right past.

I wonder when I will find my direction, and more importantly, my motivation?

I think you need to remember your successes Shan. Some of the darkest feelings in my life came from being surrounded by people more successful/outgoing/happier/wealthier than I was. You don’t even realize it’s happening, but slowly your sense of self gets eroded if you’re not careful. Try to remember the things that have gotten you so far in life - simple pleasures from yesterday, happy childhood memories, a genuine sense of pride and satisfaction with yourself. And think of all the things you have going for you: good looks, good health, intelligence, youth, personality, friends. Very few people have all those things.

Maybe I’m completely off regarding what’s bothering you, but losing myself has always been most damaging to my outlook. I think it’s best sometimes to just silence the outside voices and listen to what’s inside.

Ever get really down or the weather just gets to you ? Ever not have enough sunlight and get deprived and have sex? Well that is what happened to last week when it rained really hard. I used to drive down to Myrtle Beach or Surfside and just sit or lay on the beach and watch the waves come in. It is the most relaxing thing to do when you have had a really rough week. I am attending the Univ of South Carolina where I haven”t been in 25 years and everything has really changed. The simple pleasures in life are knowing the weekend is near and your wife is going to make love to you that night. I am sorry the Anna Nicole Smith died but when you live in the fast lane and hang with low life people what do you expect. Nobody makes you do drugs, it is your choice and only your choice. I am tired of all the excuses
