"Forget everything. Open the windows. Clear the room. The wind blows through it. You see only its emptiness, you search in every corner and don’t find yourself."

“I am constantly trying to communicate something incommunicable, to explain something inexplicable, to tell about something I only feel in my bones and which can only be experienced in those bones. Basically it is nothing other than this fear we have so often talked about, but fear spread to everything, fear of the greatest as of the smallest, fear, paralyzing fear of pronouncing a word, although this fear may not only be fear but also a longing for something greater than all that is fearful.”
― Franz Kafka, Letters to Milena

Kafka made me emotionally destitute with his, "I solve problems by letting them devour me" . Just like him, I'm trying to communicate something incommunicable, to explain something inexplicable, to tell about something I only feel in my bones. As my inner realm descends into chaos, my mental serenity cascades into oblivion, mirroring the turbulence within. Feeling differently from what I think and thinking differently from what I "should" think will be the death of me.

"I never wish to be easily defined. I'd rather float over other people's minds as something strictly fluid and non-perceivable; more like a transparent, paradoxically iridescent creature rather than an actual person."
-Franz Kafka (diary of March 24th 1914)
