I\u2019ve mentioned it before, right? I tell myself that many times throughout my life. Matter of fact, I\u2019ve been saying it to myself this past month. I\u2019ve mentioned my love for self-loathing and how I&#8217;ve managed to benefit from it. It\u2019s definitely the neurosis, but then again, I highly doubt it. See, I can\u2019t decide which is it. I entertained the notion that I have several problems that I usually amplify, so I can\u2019t find solutions for, or possibly I&#8217;m thinking highly of myself. Am I condescending? Narrowed-minded? Am I unintentionally hurting people? Are expectations embedded in me when I befriend someone? Again, it maybe me thinking highly of myself, thinking, \u201cOh, I may have an affect towards that person, so I scarred them for life.\u201d Usually I can fix this. I try not to distance myself but I find comfort if someone doesn\u2019t have to deal with my nuance and my inability to relate or appreciate them. The solution is there, somewhere. It\u2019s quite a mess. In the middle of the clutter, I\u2019ll find the perfect matching socks.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s been quite awhile since I&#8217;ve posted something. Life\u2019s not grand, but it hasn\u2019t been awful too. It\u2019s neither here nor there. It\u2019s definitely not stagnant. Possibly I\u2019m just passing the time. I wanted to post something every week this past month but I became lethargic. I know, I know, not this again. I used it as an excuse so I can be insufficient. It\u2019s sad.<\/p>\n<p>Beginning this week I\u2019ll try my best to post something. Something less cynical and bleak, I promise. Really, I will. I swear.<\/p>\n<p>Until next time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019m a horrible person. I\u2019ve mentioned it before, right?
