i have decided that i’m going to be ok!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#lately i’ve been feeling very distressed about breaking off my engagement and my ex and the minor and major cruelties of existence!#but then i realise that it’s better to move into the future at full velocity and courage with no one to make me feel bad about what matters#and to me what matters is literature and art and generosity and striving to be better always#and i think i can get there and i can take things seriously and not give up hope#i have beautiful friends and i am working on reestablishing my trust in other people#and i will be…happy…consistently happy…someday in the not too distant future

amazingly i feel i have a normal relationship with all these things. can’t wait until i’m not sick anymore so i can emerge fully formed into the world and enjoy it
If I had a normal relationship with food and alcohol and drugs and sex and sexuality and money. Then I would probably feel a lot better
#normal relationship with food always (thank you mom)#normal relationship with alcohol and drugs began when i started going to techno gigs in sf#for some reason i’ve never really felt self-conscious about sex or felt excessive shame about it#sexuality in progress but having beautiful women message me on redacted app is helping…#i want to spend a lot of money but i’m probably spending the right amount (not on another pair of simone rocha earrings)

remembering how about 2 years ago i was writing writing writing, privately and furtively for me myself and i, and hoping that something would come of it
i need to start doing this again. writing a lot for myself, writing a great deal in private or as if in private (as in: spacious and unafraid and loose and flexible, not afraid bc of the immense weight of feeling perceived or supervised or scrutinized by the Other)…
sunday: 5 pages
monday: 3 pages
tuesday: 4 pages
today: 5 pages
i am writing. i don’t really know what the writing is for. or what it is meant to be. it is interiority flowing into introspection flowing into amateur literary criticism into reflections on time and disciplinarity and love and friends and the affairs of my friends (‘affair’ in the abstract sense and in the infidelity sense) and ethics and existentialism and what it means to self actualise.
it could all be nothing and i could be taking myself too seriously. but writing feels like something of significance in my life: exciting and engrossing and an autotelic activity that justifies itself…and i feel very purely and simply happy to be sitting and writing…and all i am doing is collecting seeds and planting seeds and quietly observing where my mind goes to, what it’s caught on, what are all the things i want to say and need the time and space to say.
i’m having a really good time. i think the secret to happiness, for me, is writing like this as consistently as i can. writing that has no purpose except to satisfy the persistent inner urge to create.

I saw the graceful angle of her leg and I thought, She’s beautiful and full of grace; she likes me; she does not defer to me, nor does she need to undermine me; she has a private mind and a private life; we are not in competition; her areas of competence are so different from mine that we never clash. I envy—or rather intend to be, one day—a woman like her. Or those older women writers I’ve met, who at sixty live alone in a lovely flat, work calmly and with recognition, have friends.
