I can totally relate to this 👣🌱👻
👉 "I don’t think I want a map of everything I’ve ever read. I want a mind free to read what it needs. I want memory that forgets gracefully. I want ideas that resurface not because I indexed them, but because they mattered." - @Daojoan
Today seems like a good day to remind myself about two things:
1️⃣ Nobody really cares about you —besides your parents, hopefully.
2️⃣ That shouldn't endorse your cynicism.
Caring, I learn the older I get, is more like gardening and less of an investment.
This reminded me of this issue (218) on the Red Hand Files, by #NickCave
👉 "What makes a great song great is not its close resemblance to a recognizable work. Writing a good song is not mimicry, or replication, or pastiche, it is the opposite."
"Maybe that’s why so few people write, and why a few people feel compelled to write. Every kind of pain is aversive to most humans, but addictive to a handful of them. Writers are addicted to the particular kind of pain you feel when you’re at a loss for words, and to the relief that comes from finding them." 👀👇 #wanderr #experimentalhistory #writing

Procrastinating, as I keep reading about, is like a blanket, threaded with more or less effective coping mechanisms to keep us safe and warm so, we refuse to let go when the alarm rings while it’s raining outside. This may seem a simplistic approach to such a nightmare yet it is enough for me to begin getting back on my slippery feet.
Isn't it a bit ironic that now that the innocence around #socialmedia is gone —allegedly, data superstition keeps faking it to make it without embracing the inherent complexity of human connections? #wanderr
Remember some ideas need more sun and less water to grow...

2️⃣🧵👆 When I first joined the Fediverse —uneventfully, a couple of years ago, I became aware of how rusty my digital hunter-and-gathering skills were. In other words, felt my curiosity was so out of shape I needed to do something about it.
So this new account (@daniel) is my determination to #wanderr around creative blogs, odd passionate projects and, in sum, meaningful conversations on social media.
