Last night I was having so much fun at the club, dancing, getting lit.. and my girl turns to me and says “I can see in your eyes you’re sad” and I wonder how many other people notice

this somehow feels like an apt metaphor for the way my brain works (repetitive, Minnesotan, difficult to explain)

don’t get me wrong I am 1000% certain I am on the right path. but some days I am like man… did I really get sober to be this constipated and depressed

a little stunned that the Mountain Goats’ Tallahassee has become my comfort album… like why am I listening to “No Children” in order to self-regulate 🤔

I like that people talk in terms of emotional "regulation" now because the screendamaged yuppie jargon mis-identified as "therapy speak" is better understood as the cultivation of a total bureaucracy of the heart and at least "regulation" makes that explicit

and a few more!! stoked to keep doing this… I feel like it encourages me to fully inhabit the moment, embrace potential imperfection, and delight in delayed gratification/waiting to see what will be revealed. which are skills I very much need to develop lol (pun not intended)
