Recreational thought for the day 18-9-09

It's strange how conversations with people no matter how small, minute or seemingly insignificant can have profound consequences down the line, or even in an instance depending on how well you reflect or take heed of what is said, even by you.1

In a conversation last night with a friend a question was posed "why are you such a mystery?" the answer I gave was this:2

"I don't open up, I don't confide, I am a private individual surrounded by walls which are crumbling from the inside out, and forever building more walls to replace the one's that will inevitably fall".3

What I didn't realise was that the very instant I finished that line, I had bonded with that individual, I had done the very thing I claimed not to do by being "open" with them, not about anything big in particular, but that small amount of insight was enough. 4

Words are powerful tools, we as authors should know this, whether we weave our words to create or destroy, we are capable of playing God with what we say, and more importantly, how we say it.5

Choose them wisely.

    Ah, a true mystery man. Yes, words do it all and when you arrange them in a certain order, they can change the shape of history. You are inspiring, good poet Sir.

    "A journal lets you keep track of what goes on in your life" 1 Some things in life though, are easily forgotten, easily put to the back of the mind, and by the time it comes around to think of them once more, or even to note them, they've either been too long out of sight to have any relevance, or simply no lon

      1   2 t seems lately, that despite everything I try, all the good I've attempted to do, people seem to want to be further from me than closer to me. And it's got to the point where I'm questioning myself as a result. 3 I never considered myself a bad person, sure I've fucked up a few

    Yes it's late, so sue me 1 Alrighty, todays recreational thought is based very much on a reflection of myself, specifically various reflections of myself. 2 I have always had a fascination with masks, heck I could nearly classify it as a fetish except I always associate that term with sexual connotations

    Today's recreational thought is a little late, and therefore probably going to be inadequate in comparison to other journals as of late, mainly because i'm sleepy. 1 Actually there's the thought for the day, commitment! 2 Now commitment comes in many shapes and forms, be it to pursuits, to promises, hell

    I had a strange thought today while on my break in work, the past few days I have been far from healthy, chronic headaches eventually evolving into migraines, and a general lethargy about me, and I thought to myself, maybe I should see a doctor. Then it occurred to me, why on earth can't we diagnose ourselves? 1
