Fitz And Dizzyspells: Mediocrity is all I want. →
lacitylac:
You know that question that people like to ask? Its something like, would you rather have a mix of absolutely amazing moments and absolutely horrible moments or just a consistent strand of mediocrity (actually now that I think about it I think its in reference to friends…would you rather have one…
I either have too much emotional attachment to...
Yep.

Reminder to myself.
Basking in misery, unhappiness and discontent is something I am not indifferent to. It has seemed to consume my entire being. The fog doesn’t seem to lift - and it seems if it only cleared up just a little, I could get things done. I could live a life. I could feel alive. It’s like this - you can’t make yourself snap out of it. You can’t slap it out of your system. You just...

– When you’re lost in those woods, it sometimes takes you a while to realize that you are lost. For the longest time, you can convince yourself that you’ve just wandered off the path, that you’ll find your way back to the trailhead any moment now. Then night falls again and again, and you still have...

– “I thought that was an image I had to put in my pocket and keep with me. I’m not exactly sure why. It’s not that I need to remember it, because I won’t forget those kind of things, but I just want to write them down and look at them. It’s almost like when things like music come out and you’re...

– You spend your whole life stuck in the labyrinth, thinking about how you’ll escape it one day, and how awesome it will be, and imagining that future keeps you going, but you never do it. You just use the future to escape the present.

katharoi:
And after all the parties and the reunions and those funerals and everything, I remembered that we had buried a time capsule. Perhaps we were already old friends when we had the plan; fill a sealed box with our secrets and bury it. I think the idea was to dig it up when all our secrets had become…

– The Great American Dream is coming true for many. Obviously, I believe that to pursue the American Dream is not only futile but self-destructive because ultimately it destroys everything and everyone involved with it. By definition it must, because it nurtures everything except those things that...

How is it possible to resent someone who has done everything for you? How is it possible to have hoarded so much anger about things you can’t even bring to the surface of your conscious, and expend all that nastiness on someone you love and care about? And after the fact, you can’t help but sit there in your own destructive creation, wanting to be that person who can apologize...

when people dance around shit and aren’t straightforward. Be honest. Stop playing games. Say exactly what’s on your mind. I’m gonna be more pissed if you try to avoid shit and make up lies.

– Thinking about something is like picking up a stone when taking a walk, either while skipping rocks on the beach, for example, or looking for a way to shatter the glass doors of a museum. When you think about something, it adds a bit of weight to your walk, and as you think about more and more...

So what do you say to taking chances?
Don’t know much about your life. Don’t know much about your world, but… don’t want to be alone tonight, on this planet they call earth.
You don’t know about my past, and, I don’t have a future figured out. And maybe this is going too fast. And maybe it’s not meant to last.
But what do you say to taking chances? What do you say to jumping off the edge?...
I am in such an enlightened mood this morning.
And no, it’s not because it’s Christmas Eve. In fact, I really thought that I was going to be a Grinch by the time Christmas weekend came. I have been pretty stressed out lately, moody, and not happy. I can’t pinpoint it… but really, can I ever? Nah… usually I just ride it out. Kind of ignore or suppress where it could be coming from. Not a good thing. I get lost in...

I was light on my feet, each step weighing no heavier than my thoughts. It was about midnight, nobody was keeping track of time. Intoxicated would be the wrong word; introduced to a new perspective perhaps. The neon pink, tacky blue, glowing green, and whatever other colors there were, just seemed…
