“I don’t like feeling that I am replaceable.”

thought of the day (rather serious, this one)

“I don’t like feeling that I am replaceable.”

it seems I am also no stranger to ENTITLEMENT after all, feeling as I do, that once I have become part of something, or obtained something, that I should thereafter ALWAYS have/be part of it.

😉 GOD FORBID I’m ever dating a woman they leave me! hahahahah. not really a joke, though.

very challenging, to accept such things. I HATE being excluded from that which I want to belong to, that which I DO, or DID, belong to… why do I feel this… is it normal? I should think that my apparently extreme sensitivity to it indicates that I do not love myself enough, and that I give over the care of “little michael” (the proverbial inner-child) to inappropriate persons,

and yet… I cannot control what such persons will do… and it is true that they do NOT have my or my interests in mind AT ALL, and that this is life, and that…. curses… I’ll have to find some way to live with it… or I’ll be miserable and dependent always on the love and care of others instead of me….

ok, then…
ok.
this must be accepted, then. it hurts. it will hurt.
I suppose it shall also empower.

ouch.

ok, then…
ok.

…giving away the care of your proverbial inner-child

…giving away the care of your proverbial inner-child to others, looking for love and approval from them, instead of from YOU…
NEVER works… it’s NEVER EVER enough, like with drugs…this must be what narcissists do… always using everyone for narcissistic supply… you never can get enough, because NOTHING can take the place of self-love, EVER.

killing yourself is an answer.

so is deciding that you like yourself (and actually doing so,) and saying that if others don’t, then it’s their loss.

I’ll go with the second option.

what DO they consist in?

at a distance, things painful are less so.

so HERE’s a question…

in relationships, not just with partners, but other kinds too,

if they DON’T (as they shouldn’t, it seems,) consist in “giving away the care of your proverbial inner-child” to someone else who is not qualified, disinterested, which means that they’ll treat you like shit, and you’ll take how they treat you as proof of whatever negative self-hating beliefs you hold about yourself (thanks, ‘shitty childhood’),

as I say,,, if they DON’T consist in that, in trying to secure the love and approval (empty, of course) of people who’s love you don’t need (instead of your OWN love, that is,)

if they and their dynamics DON’T consist in this, then…

what DO they consist in?

I love “pretending” to play Beethoven

that moment when you
1. thanks to your perfect pitch, have “ascertained” what a large majority of the pitches are in a small fragment of a Beethoven piano sonata…
2. use your wiles and said perfect pitch to “finagle” “enough” of it to
3. actually play it as an example of, say, a fully diminished vii^o of V, in a music theory class, and as a result
4. your students “actually” think you play piano….:):):)

why this tagged Wagner? cause Wagner dug Beethoven and there IS no Beethoven tag

always thinking about tomorrow…

ALWAYS thinking about tomorrow (“all his life, as he looked away to the future”)
always thinking that some day, after right now, (“to the horizon”)
after right now, some OTHER day, things will be ideal, better, great, good
(“NEVER – his mind on -“)
there is no tomorrow, there is only right now
“WHERE HE WAS!… HM?! WHAT he was DOING!… Hm.”)
stop thinking that, stop preparing for that.

prepare for right now.

Music and In the Moment

I almost feel sorry for people who can’t be in the moment enough to totally love playing and listening to wonderful (Brazilian in this case) music so much that it is life, pure joy, right now, never before, never after, always now.

ain’t necessarily an endorphins thing, though they seem to do this sometimes also.

just an in the moment thing.

and a love harmony and rhythm (or melody) thing.

Guess I’m just lucky, and man life would suck if this wasn’t enough.

me blessed.

yay music.

don’t be opportunist, STAND for things

politicians (and everyone) shouldn’t be OPPORTUNIST. they should STAND for things and do them.
either things THEY THEMSELVES care about, and/or things that OTHERS do.
not just whatever’s popular, whatever’s gonna work.
I’m NOT sorry, but doing whatever WORKS isn’t ok. it puts you at the mercy of meaningless bullshit, and that is UNfuckinacceptable.
and by the WAY; I mean this ARTISTICALLY, and in ALL MANNER OF WAYS, not just politics, not even specifically politics.

WHAT others appreciate about you

trying to control WHAT others appreciate about you is one thing.

but believing that you don’t deserve appreciation simply for normal human qualities is QUITE another, particularly if it causes to try to control what others appreciate about you.

it might even lead you to not present yourself for a great many experiences, because you think that all you have to offer is being abnormal, extreme, crazy, weird, special, different. (it’s not like people didn’t make me feel guilty for being normal as a child, nor appreciate me only when I was special and different (they did, and they did, nor is it like many of my interests genuinely were and ARE in things that are less common and normal than some.)
