what is a blog for? pt 2 / tailspin
“I have never thought of writing for reputation and honor.
What I have in my heart must come out; that is the reason why I compose.” - Beethoven
“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.” - Maya Angelou
“What if this what it is all about: changing the point of view, making it so that something can be regarded, instead of imagined. You take the thing you think is inside you, and then you put it outside of you, so you can read about it, or listen to it, or look at it. That’s all I had ever tried to do.” - Emma Copley Eisenberg, Housemates
“Milk meeeee!” (or something like that) - Milton
these quotes have been finding me lately and validating my need for an outlet. I had something deep to say about them but I don't remember. it had to do with loneliness & creating things for yourself, but I already covered that in the first post. let me know if you figure it out?
hi. I've been wanting to write another entry for a long time, and of course now that I'm in front of the screen all my words have left me.
I've been taking my time because of how much I hated my last post, and I intend to go back & edit that one as soon as this is done (or maybe before).
I probably have too much anxiety in my body to write. there's something about uncertain time constraints and lack of sleep on a hot day that really send me into a tailspin. I'm not tailspinning yet, but I did cry before brushing my teeth. I feel a bit braindead.
you know what, I'm going to publish this, go back & edit the last post, and get on with my day. maybe later, when it's cool and the weight of the day is off my shoulders, I can come back and share my favorite songs, why I had such a great week, and what's causing all this anxiety. and maybe I'll enjoy it.
