simplicity eludes me, and does not, also.

I should most certainly not be so quick to jealously begrudge persons who seem… easier-going and less-troubled than I…
it is probably easier being them… at least when it comes to over-thinking…
I even over-think and over-analyze when it comes to music, (obviously.)
thankfully, SOME Music is powerful enough to remove me from this and get me in the moment…
either the (classic)High Stimulations of
Holst, Stravinsky, WAGNER, etc…
or
the blessedness that is Minimalism….
not to mention African and Indian (and yes, Indonesian) musics in their fabulous repetitivenesses. (nice word.)

never say that’s just the way the world works

be VERY wary of people who say
“that’s just the way the world works.”

for them, maybe.

they’ve made a decision to perceive and assess things the way they do, good for them.

Doesn’t mean “I” have to agree with them.

never did mean it.

Be Wary

Be wary-
wary of depending on others who’s tastes and opinions are very very different than yours….

that might require context and explanation…

but no, let’s give it a shot on it’s own first.

then again,
perhaps if you are very confident, and not afraid, and secure in yourself, perhaps one need not be wary, but how does one beCOME confident, in such a way? harder to answer.

Self-Love is the way.

being misjudged

on rare occasions I meet someone who assumes that I’m reasonable and not crazy and not extreme and not me and “am normal” and don’t express myself honestly.
sometimes they friend request me.
seeing one of them delete their friend request, after a few weeks of my posts, is amusing.
seeing people not yet realize that I’m not your average easy going type, and then seeing them find out… is just sorta amusing.
