How do I put this?
I honestly don’t relate to about . . . 95% of how we describe life to one another.
I do see WHY we might cast our ideas in the forms of stories or bromides or self-improvement formulae, to-do beentheredonethat lists or witty, entertaining tales.
But I personally feel all this has next to nothing to do with the actual real-time sentient experience of living, which is ceaselessly fascinating to me – but, generally, makes for lameass anecdotes.
I’ll likely regret posting this but I do wonder if this resonates with anyone at all.
Bottom line is: I’m not quite sure we ever talk about what being alive is like at all.
Do discuss, would ya? Ya know, DISQUS below . . . if you feel like it.
