listen, things aren't always as they seem.
I knew this person, that is to say i did not really know them, i only knew their mask, yes, that mask we put on that i'm so fascinated with. I read this person's online journal, let's not kid ourselves. Well, I found this person has thought not unlike mine, certain basic impulsive thoughts about our situation, the situation. And i think to myslef, god damn, are there more of these people out there, are there also people here searching that aren't finding becuase we're not connected?
I always wonder, this cannot be happening, a college full of morons? A whole town full of ignorant idiots with no thoughts of anything besides studies, buddies and alcohol? I know i'm being overdramatic, this is true. But it is also true that many are searching like me, and alot of times i forget, i feel pompously and innocently alone for a little.
This is the problem here. It's so much easier to connect on the easy things, the things that don't take any emotional input or step onto the plank. It's so much easier to talk about drinking and theories why the simpsons suck. But why are we, am i here, not we, why am I here. Why am i here and why are you here. It's personalization, what am I doing here, emphasis on the I.
This is a call to all intellectuals, this is a call for those who journey inward and through that journey outward, not vice versa or at all. Use the journey inward to connect, i've tried, lord knows i've tried, for so long to connect directly from the inward to the inward of others. We must use our outside journeys to connect with one another, we forget what those are for. If we love the journey inside it can only be perpetuated from the conversing with others of this same calibur (not to be a pomopous asshole).
