Open edition

Looking at everything you think and feel – and see where you might have learned to think or feel that thing.

You’re not a rational economic agent
You’re not an individual
You’re just a structure through which other hands act
Your parents’ hands
The hands of the people who have been mean to you
The hands of the people who have been beautiful to you
The hands of music and TV and advertising
The hands of scrolling and watching and laughing
And so they’re all doing stuff
You can see some of it and you can’t see some
You recognise where some of the hands are from
And those you can’t recognise you just call “yourself”
Although it’s really not
So that’s how it is
It’s the truth
And it’s not bad
It’s fine
Weird
But fine
Beautifully maybe even
It’s just painful if you think reality is one thing and it’s actually something else
Fighting how things are with how you mistakenly think they should be

Spend time thinking about all the things you do to stay afloat. Then spend time feeling how that feels. And then think about how you doing those things changes the universe.

We’re drawn to the light
We tread water
We think we’ll drown if we stop
Sounds kind of harsh
Sounds kind of cruel
But maybe that’s just life
And maybe that’s not bad
Maybe its kind of nice
And we’re made to think we have to tread hard
But actually it can be kind of gentle
And our treading is what makes stuff happen
And it’s kind of nice
And it’s kind of difficult
We get some brightness and light
And we are made to sing for our supper by the universe
And though that the universe advances
We’re happy and sad little cogs of existence

Think about a time when you felt synced with other people, and some internal pains or things you held onto tightly internally went away.

Humans can, in some scenarios, come together and collectively release nonsense
Collectively gain wisdom
Release ignorance
Release pain
Release stupidity
Release anger
Release habits
Release fear
It’s an interesting human thing

Think about something you want in your life but you feel stuck.

They’re going all out
Trying to fly
But can’t fly
They’re anchored to the ground
Feathers shedding
Beaten but gutsy and persistent
Now what happens
Will they deanchor and fly
Or will they stay there
Or will they tire and collapse
And if they take off, should they even want to take off
Were the anchors actually there for a good reason
Who knows
Does it even matter
They try
They do
It happens
Let’s see
Kind of beautiful

Think about what you’re unhappy with about yourself – on the outside and inside. And then think about why you might be wrong, and why you might actually be happy about those things.

Check yourself before you wreck yourself
Fix your eyes and ears and mouth and nose
Fix your brain
Fix your thoughts
Nothing about you is ok
But is that true
I’m almost completely certain that’s not true
You exist
And so you’re supposed to exist
Exactly as you are
But you can also do stuff
So fine
Maybe that’s a creative process
I feel like you just shouldn’t need to
And you should see how incredible you are, as you naturally are
But maybe there’s some reason that us humans are like this
No conclusion
Think about it and decide what you think

Thinking about people in the world who might be creating a better future for you, but who you can’t trust. Think about people whose lives you might be improving but who don’t know or trust you.

Humans rise together
But don’t trust one another
It’s weird
And beautiful
Collectively one organism
Where each organ doesn’t trust the other
But it doesn’t matter
We keep rising
Might be happier if we could trust each other
But maybe it’s not designed like that
And we keep rising together however it is
Kind of magic

Try to let yourself really feel any sadness, despair and guilt that might be anywhere inside you. Get the intellectual side of you that says/knows that you should not be feeling those things to shut up for a while. For just a while feel those feelings instead of suppressing them.

You tried
You tried your best
You did stuff
You did what you thought you should
But it all got fucked up
It didn’t go to plan
It went wrong
Then it went more wrong
You’re tied up
You fucked up
And now you’re tied up
And you can’t get out
And now you suffer
And even worse you feel guilt
You can see but you can’t move
And intellectually you know you’re wrong
That it wasn’t just you who determined how things transpired
That things aren’t bad
That you’re not actually tied up
That if you were tied up, you could free yourself
And that even if you were tied up and couldn’t get free it wouldn’t matter anyway
But fuck all that intellectual noise
You still 100% feel that you’re tied up, can never get out, and despair
