where David Foster Wallace gives
FIVE bits of advice to
basically
his writing students
&
that made me remember
I started his book
BUT
I didn't finish it
I start books
I don't finish them
SOME percentage of the time
& I don't know what the percentage is
BUT
if I've ever said I STARTED reading something
& then didn't mention it again
MAYBE I didn't finish
I'm pretty mentally scattered
& I am not trying to get credit for having done
WHATEVER
I'm KINDA anxious today
I was planning to go
SEE my mom
BUT
I think I need some
OUT in the WORLD time
I just have to make myself get out there
sitting around the house
is not that good for me
& I seem to be transforming the empathy engine
into some kind of internal
SELF EMPATHY
integration tool
& I'm not sure
WHAT to make of THAT
I hope you are having a beautiful day sweetheart
I am feeling anxious & jumpy
I don't want to listen to
CRAZY sh*t from my mom
& I FEEL
whether I'm right or not
as though seeing her
will DAMAGE me
WEIRD
