does this make any sense? oh, also, I bought the pen before I had the writing conversation with my mom -- that wasn't like reactionary or anything

in FAIRNESS to ME 
I think a LOT of the things
I take joy in
are
the little things that
WORK for me

LIKE 
the SIZE and SHAPE and FEEL of things

on the ONE HAND seems
TRIVIAL 

BUT 
it doesn't SEEM trivial 
it SEEMS like

it gives me MORE SPOONS which we're TRYING to not just PRETEND isn't an ISSUE 

we're trying to 
take into account 

I'm REQUIRED to point out

THIS 
FINDING the PERFECT thing

which is possibly dopamine seeking
OR
the predominant fun puzzle THING 
that is my THING 

it is impossible to strip out
did I do THIS to play a game I like to play

OR
was I doing a PROCESS that leads to BETTER outcomes 

& the truth is 
I'm generally suspicious 
it's NEW experimentation 
& it hasn't 
PROVEN itself EITHER way 

SO
I can CLAMP DOWN but I'm trying not to 
BECAUSE 
I'm trying to DEVELOP a
COHESIVE 
ME

& this either works
or it doesn't 

but I have to do it 
to SEE
