Some great titles coming out now, damn. Genesis definitely interest me. But I’ll see what else drops before I make a decision.
I’ve been increasingly lost lately. Just feelings of “So this is life huh?” I actually had this feeling the other day that I was already dead and this was hell. Not getting the answers I want, ending up in jobs and engagements that aren’t for me, autopiloting till the weekend, doing it all over again another week. Yeah safe to say this was my worst nightmare when I was younger come true.
Ultimately I’ve realized expressing this to anyone is pointless. Am I grateful for being ok financially? Absolutely. That doesn’t take away the existential torture though. And in a lot of ways this mimics the pattern of providing for the physical but abandoning the emotional.
The answer isn’t more money, a better job, more sex, more power, etc. I don’t know what the answer is. But I know I need to do some deeper soul searching without guilt in order to honor these needs. That’s still something I’m learning. We live in a society where it’s assumed the typical lifestyle checklist is good enough and if you need something more you’re cast aside as a reject. But I decide what’s important, not some dumb outside opinion. So if my life doesn’t feel fulfilling that’s not me failing at something, that’s pressure on top of me to conform I have to break out of.
