Thoughts from an old dusty box
We like ideas without being willing to participate in them. Other people do ridiculous things, and we celebrate them. But it is a much different thing to be that person and to see that way. Thus, to see something as an idea is not truly to see it.
Knowing things about someone is only the first step of knowing who they are. You must also know their importance to the person; how do they see those things? What is the first thing we should think about them?
A procrastinator about life will never have to answer the question “But when will you do what you need to?” because they procrastinate that too.
Some people do their thinking way inside their head. Our words are unanswered knocks, and eventually we go away sad, for we know they are right. Relationships are hard; the weight of another besides ourselves.
Sometimes the only way to get your point across is to say everything except for exactly what you mean; that is what the poets realized so very long ago.
We think about how time is always fleeting, and even that thought took up time. So relentless. Thus, time to go read. Everybody win today, okay? Because when will we win if not Wednesday? Hmm?

Poets are very good at say everything except exactly what they mean. I like this because it’s exactly how i feel. I like that people show you who they are through their ideas but even more so though how they understand things. I wish more people talked like this. it’s fun to be existential.
