bleeding for fun, + less wrapping paper
…
I stumbled on a couple fascinating concepts today. See this and this(the first one is better, future Ashton).
I have never thought about whether people would have enjoyed the conceptual field that they are uber-competent in before. It is perhaps an odd thought vector primarily because it requires recognizing that fundamental concept of different preferences and an internalization of such.
Also, I should practice writing more. With less extra commas. And string along ideas. And less words like ‘perhaps’ and ‘possibly’ and ‘cogitate’ — mostly they just signal that I am trying too hard to sound smart, and I need to remember that intelligence comes from content not wrapping paper.
If you love something and are addicted to it, it is no struggle to bleed for it. Bleeding for an addiction feels horrible and simultaneously understandable. Addiction is necessary for success.
I really do like writing. If I can internalize the idea that ‘tis not be a chore, but instead something to simply enjoy the process, I may yet do more. To follow as such, I am adding this ‘new post’ button to my phone homepage.
We will see how it goes.
