What’s your solution?

Posted on June 24, 2012 by

Anything that will dissolve me, once and for all. I’ve been training myself to be genuinely empathic and compassionate for the last ten years or so. It’s a slow, uphill battle, but I like to think it’s making me a … Continue reading →

How about now: Are you OK? Are they OK?

Posted on June 22, 2012 by

What does okay even mean? (Oddly, I have an aversion to spelling it as just initials, I don’t know where I picked up this linguistic snootiness from.) I’m going to resist to descend in the dark valley of a wikipedia … Continue reading →

When you were a child what did you think of other people? Were they OK?

Posted on June 21, 2012 by

Again, I can’t remember. I’m pretty sure I felt like they must be happier than me, but I’m pretty sure I wasn’t really that sad. It’s the way you look at grown ups, and think that they have everything you … Continue reading →

When you were a child what did you think of yourself? Were you OK?

Posted on June 19, 2012 by

Even as a child I was aware I was quite weird. My fantasy world was more extreme then. I remember sitting at the table for sunday roast, having not been able to sleep all night, reading batman comics at a … Continue reading →

What’s your problem? (asked in a genuinely concerned manner)

Posted on June 18, 2012 by

Immediately, trying to pick between two alternative images of my future. This has been ongoing for quite a while, but is suddenly put into relief by realistic propositions for either dream (both of which felt fantastical less than a year … Continue reading →

When should you forgive?

Posted on February 4, 2012 by

Forgiveness is a very strange thing. It’s the letting go of the past, escaping the wrongs that have been done to you. It’s an obvious moment of moving on. It’s cutting a tie to something negative in the past, not … Continue reading →

How important are role-models?

Posted on February 3, 2012 by

To a kid looking up to Ice Cube, ‘life ain’t nothing but bitches and money’. Whilst the Freudian and the Marxist might agree with that, even Ice Cube acknowledges that he doesn’t exactly look like a (‘motherfucking’) role model. (And … Continue reading →

Is being recognised as a victim empowering?

Posted on February 2, 2012 by

It’s such a loaded word. I feel even less able to answer than usual. It’s not my place to talk about this stuff, but I’ll try. A victim is someone to whom something has happened. It appears to be disempowering, … Continue reading →

Are daydreams a good thing?

Posted on February 1, 2012 by

In between thoughts, other thoughts occur. I’d get bored without daydreams, without idle thought processes to fill the gaps between intelligibility. A function of modern, alienated labour, perhaps, but I’m just as likely to do it in my wasted leisure time. … Continue reading →

When should you apologise?

Posted on January 30, 2012 by

When you’ve done the wrong thing, you know it, and you’re going to commit to not making the same mistake again. I mean, the first bits are the most likely, but if the last is probably the important part. Often … Continue reading →
