I hate concentrating. especially when I don’t know how to do the things I have to somehow figure out how to do, and to do them…
I also love concentrating… when I have a clue WHAT the hell I’m concentrating ON….

what is the Point of everything, of LIFE?
so, Censored, what the @*#*(% is the POINT of everything, of LIFE?
it can’t be accumulation of material goods, such as my nifty outfits (mm hmm….)
it’s gotta be just getting by and just being happy, for sure.
well, drumming with friends in less than an hour.
that should do it today!:)
African Music is Bloody Awesome, among the awesomest thing in the woild, but what do I know. (I know what I like, and that counts for a whole lot, in my case.)
what right
what right do people have to compare and judge me as a PERSON, when they intend to do so merely as a student.
what steps are we taking, if any, to ensure that young children do not come away from being judged and compared, feeling like they themselves as a PERSON, feeling worthless?
sometimes, to me at least, it felt, (it’s a little hard to remember, honestly) that when I was little, that when people “labeled” me, labeled me adhd and a problem child…. that they were saying that I was a bad person and was invalid, did not deserve to be loved, much less be happy, much less have anything to offer people.
that surely had a lot (everything, in fact) to do with “the home environment” and it’s “dysfunctional tendencies” yes.
people really should just “care” more, “care enough”, and I’m talking about educators.
it’s not as if young students are just OBJECTS, to be employed some day; they are people and they have feelings and they won’t make it that far if they feel this way.
so, let’s educate “carefully” and “label” carefully, shall we?
Labeling people seems bad.
Labeling people seems bad. especially if they are children, children who are vulnerable to taking the label serious, when in truth, the label might be not at all meaningful, even arbitrary, or just some SCHMUCK’s opinion:)
remember this.
believing that the way you do things is normal
believing-
that the way you do things is normal and right,
just because it’s the way you do things…
may indeed be normal,
but it doesn’t seem inherently right.
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.)
motivations of differing varieties of course
People will always have different motivations.
Yours don’t have to be mine.
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.
Capitalist Pigdom
I will say, treating EVERYTHING as an opportunity to make money, all the time, and always first, is just asinine. we can do better. too bad many people (Americans) simply aren’t interested in doing better.
