visions

I have these visions that I put out into the universe.

'I have so many things I want to do, but I just don't have the time to do it.'

The constant, habitual cycle of putting a vision out there and not following it.
Letting the culture, the 'flow of life', the passive interactions, the instantaneous pleasures get in the way of those visions.

But many of the things I say I want to do, I don't seek those to gain surface-level satisfactions. At least for the most important core-value ones. For these true, genuine goals, I don't say I want to achieve these things for the recognition of the label. I speak out of a genuine curiosity, a want to see what that experience is like. To want to know how it feels. To be able to explore the world and its connections. To gain understanding for my own clarity and for others. To gain some sense of harmony from this clarity-- a constant cycle of acting out of love, for eachother and from eachother. To test the limits of what we know.

I have these visions. To not stick to my word, to not seek out the experience of these visions in this life because of the stupid constructs that I have created inside my head. Now that would be a waste of time.

pent-up angst

  lately haven't been giving off the brightest energy  something toxic gets to the best of me  can't see anyone in a positive light  or care enough to distinguish wrong from right  luckily ive grown fond of my inner self  and patient enough to listen to her  give enough silence to calm the chaos  reflect on the angst, smooth it out  give it time and you shall see, underneath all the fog  re-center and gain clarity  breathe it all out, don't thrash about  face it all internally 

all of this wondering

everything feels so all-consuming everything a whirlwind of confusion contradiction after contradiction an inescapable moment years flash before my eyes what have i done here? what have i seen? im still young they say but where have i been? every moment awake is a second lived every step a shift in direction what separates right from wrong what makes the correct path it all means nothing i am aware but i feel that time is swallowing me whole

utopia

heres a thought. what if we were all able to freely explore this life being completely aware of the processes occurring to us. And passively observing things that are not apparently within our control. If we observe life flexibly, knowing the cause and effect of the general idea of things. Everything will lose serious meaning. A fight with your friend. But both of you are aware that this anger stems from irrational self protection or lack of ability to accept an alternative option. This level of self-awareness will allow us to not only forgive ourselves for the things that we experience but be able to consciously alter our responses to things. Our world is so distracted in the surviving part. Just passing by. Just paying the rent. Just finding work. Even things that appear to be free are not. Passion is masked by want to succeed. Authenticity masked by the people we are meant to be. Ambition is thought to be admirable in western culture, why? Selflessness is thought to be ...
