About this blog/journal

"Shared Loneliness"

Hello,

This 'journal' is mostly an exercise for myself.

I have wanted to start a blog for a while now, but wasn't sure. I have formulated a lot of ideas privately in my head, particularly in the last few years.. (as of writing this, 2015) Really, a much more conscious and deliberate awareness of myself, a greater tendency to listen to myself alone more than anyone else, and as a result, a lot of creative thinking. And it just seems like a shame to leave all this thinking in there in the dark.

All the time it's: Think... think.... Sometimes I open up notepad on the computer and type out these thoughts, when I can't figure them out clearly enough in my head. I never showed anyone these documents, it just helps me reason through my thoughts. So starting a journal like this one should be healthy for me

I have few ideas about people reading this.. I have even less of an idea of people understanding what I say. I'm not trying to qualify anything or appeal to anyone, this is just a way to organize and share my thoughts, ultimately - to figure out life, so catering to anyone would only burden me. Believe me, I'm well aware that my thoughts may have gotten pretty far away from standard reference points, so a lot of what I say may sound nonsensical or ridiculous and laughable to someone who is not familiar with the land I exist in in my head. And hopefully through this journal I can explain a tiny bit of why that is.

The overall theme of this journal should mainly, mostly revolve around the same themes my art does, the common interconnected themes of love, loneliness, alienation, meaning, etc. and all the ways these underlying concepts manifest in the world, in different forms, but I won't hold it to that 100%. It is, after all, just my thoughts.
