Musings of a disembodied mind

Sometimes life is as simple as 2+2=4.

And then you learn about absolutes and the lack thereof.
You learn that any number divided by 0 implies a duality that can never exist, approaching the extremes on the positive and negative spectrum that cannot play nicely with each other.

In a world of confusion, looking for clarity is as fruitful and approaching nothing, and therefore approaching everything. For nothing can never exist, and neither can the infinite. One can only approach.

In one cubic feet of nothing contains more particles than all the stars in the observable universe. Is that really nothing? Sometimes I feel like the syntax error on a calculator plotting X=1/0.

Sometimes my brain just errors out, and there’s nothing I can do about it. I’ve been trying to be better. But it seems as though any perceived progress is just a false perception of understanding.

I don’t know.

I’m trapped in the senkei.

I find so much sadness in your thoughts.
.... hopefully letting them out came with some catharsis. My mind is pretty intricate in its thought process as well, and I've felt like this before. It's a slippery slope towards apathy if you're not careful in your self critique. 🥀🖤

@MoonlightLullaby definitely cathartic, although I would describe frustration rather than sadness. There’s a very difficult to explain thing that goes on with my mind, but the process is picking apart at what i’m feeling so that I can make sense if everything and grow from it.

No idea if that makes any sense 😅

@MoonlightLullaby I usually don’t allow turmoil to dwell in my heart for extended periods, as it knows how to make itself at home. Sometimes it’s more of a struggle than at other time but it is what it is.

Stoic mode isn’t a good sign with me; the absence of feeling usually means I’ve disconnected, and to reconnect with life takes a bit of effort.

But all will be well, there is no reason to be overly concerned. The is no reason to not be concerned as well but that’s just how life is sometimes.

@MoonlightLullaby (nerd alert) I remember when I was younger I used to use this statement: “I need a palladium core for where my gear used to be” just signifying that I didn’t really want to feel all the things I felt.

For a long time I just would rather not feel, but I don’t want to go back to that.
