Thank you so much. I feel the same way every time I read something you have posted. I have heard people say that online friends aren’t real. I very much disagree

The more I read about stoicism the more it makes me think of The 48 Laws of Power. Considering PCC in the future

If you haven’t yet, check out Ryan Holiday’s books on it. There are a few now. He’s done well to shine light on the philosophy.

I don’t feel so bad anymore about how some things in my life turned out or the people I used to miss but don’t feel that way now. I have no idea what I would say to some of them anyway.

I thought calling my father the other day would be a good idea but now it just feels like I was trying to cling to something that’s been gone for a long time. Maybe that’s the path to healing and letting go. All these regrets. For what? Would it really change anything for better if things had gone differently?

I feel that in some ways for the last few decades I have been living in a constant state of wishing things had been different. That I would have changed something or acted differently. It wouldn’t have mattered because the same outcome would have happened eventually anyway.

I beat myself up mentally and emotionally over so much. Not understanding that all of the anger and depression I was feeling and projecting was pointless. I would have been miserable either way. I’m not sure anything would have changed that until I did the work necessary to find out why I felt the way I did or came to how I feel now.

Dragging today but still getting things done. Ran the New QL St 1 yesterday. I did a full loop. I’m going to knock down the loops on my titles to three minutes each for now and see how that goes. Still not really watching television although I did watch a little bit of Disenchantment on Netflix last night. Doing more reading. It’s always funny to me to see anything Matt Groening does because I always think back to when I first saw his comic strip Life in Hell

Minneapolis used to have a weekly paper called City Pages. That’s where I would usually find out about upcoming concerts prior to the internet. His comic was always close to the back where the adult and 900 numbers were advertised. I miss that paper. They did a lot of really cool essays . Was also a cool way to find out about other events and restaurants or whatever going on.
