Day: June 6, 2025

Some people seem addicted to attention.
I’m not saying that’s a bad thing; it’s just
how they are wired.

I’m wired differently. I don’t like a lot of
attention.

I’d be uneasy were I known all over the
Internet like some people have become

often through hard work and successful
self promotion, not easy to do.

Worse, some through scandalous behavior
or posting something that backfired and

got them Internet breaking attention
that mortified them.

I’m happier with being obscure and
unknown in my soul-satisfying seclusion.

days fading faster
nights getting shorter
accelerating his life
away

he’s reached a point
where he’s become
indifferent to it all

and if death means
he’ll be obliterated
into nothingness

he’s okay with that
too

Had a dream that I had red suede shoes
and a woman liking them.

In the dream, I didn’t know her well,
and I wasn’t really attracted to her.

But she kind of forced her attention on me,
and she wanted to go see a new apartment

I just rented in another city. I started thinking maybe
it would be nice

to be with a woman for a while again; it’s been
a decade since I’ve gone anywhere with one.

But then she began dominating my time, planning
the day with things I didn’t want to do.

And I wasn’t looking forward to spending time with
her, but I agreed to it, so I was obligated.

I woke up and realized that even though it seemed real,
it was all just a dream, and I was so relieved.
