I have just spent the last hour and a half staring into the middle distance, hating my body. Every inch, individually. All of it.
What a fucking waste of time.
Some days are bad, and that’s fine. I hardly ever hangout in the middle distance anymore, and that’s great. But tonight, oh tonight. It was a doozy.
If I’m so afraid of lost time, why do I keep ending up here? I don’t want this to be what I use idle time for–I don’t want to pick myself apart. I’m fine! I’m great! Who gives a shit, right?
I dunno, sometimes I get lost in it.
But see, I rolled over and started typing. I hope that’s okay.
I’m going to make a list of things I could have done in that hour and a half, instead of despising my meat-suit.
Here goes
I could have:
- Lost a game of chess
- Learned literally anything about chess that might help me lose less
- Fucked myself several times
- Watched a documentary about dismantling dams
- Written “Choke Me” in calligraphy
- Written approximately one paragraph of prose which I’d ultimately trash
- Taken a bath in the forbidden upstairs bathroom
- Listened to Doo Wop by Lauryn Hill 18 times in preparation for eventual karaoke performance
- Called my sister to catch up on her neighbor’s cat, Pinocchio
- Applied for 3.2 jobs
- Made slightly underdone pumpkin pie
- Had elaborate sexy daydream
- Had 2 elaborate sexy daydreams
- Relearned Fur Elise to flex
- 3 sexy daydreams–an episodic experience
- Had a good cry
I’ve already chosen several for next time.
Take care, dear reader. Please.
I love you.
