Please tell me I'm not alone here.

[alexandraaah]

Do you ever wish you could just go about life like most people (seem to)?

It doesn't seem that complicated when I look from the outside in.


Introspection drags.

Anyone with me?

I know EXACTLY what you mean.

 

[Wiggles]

Yes, and yes it does.

 

[Juspar Emvan]

We are not alone!

 

[alexandraaah]

This is very good news to me.

 

[red_rose]

Yes.

 

[nasty]

I think you know my answer to that.

 

[Bushido71XS]

You guys too?

 

[Laurel]

Totally. Life is like watching figure skating or martial arts. Or kayaking on the ocean. When others do it, it looks effortless and beautiful - fun, even. When you do it yourself, it's exhausting, complicated, and it feels clumsy.

 

[paganangel]

yes....
and no.
i hate humans. hate them. but i wish to be like them. tyheni loathe myself when i am.

 

[Dillinger]

Honestly. I think most people go through life with blinders on. I really don't want to go through life like most people seem too... even if there are bad times with the good, I prefer to have my eyes open.

 

[YogiBare]

God, yes!

If I didn't know better, I'd pray to be oblivious.

 

[J.B.]

Yes.

Sometimes it's not so hard. others... it's a bitch!

 

[alexandraaah]

Yes, the bliss of ignorance would be nice, if only for a time.

It's not that I don't want to take the bad with the good, in fact, it's not that at all.

Sometimes, I just wonder if I'm solely culpable for overcomplicating things, rather than they just being inherently complicated.

 

[alexandraaah]

Gah, I can't even stand what I just wrote.

 

[nasty]

GAH! I can't stand having to look at those lips, twice in a row.

 

[YogiBare]

Nope, alex.

I don't think we made this stuff up.

 

[Dillinger]

Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler. -- Einstein

and...

It is a simple task to make things complex, but a complex task to make things simple. (Don't remember who said that - maybe it was me?)

There is nothing easy about simplicity - not when you are intelligent and aware. You can't shut down your mind. Not without suffering.

The pure and simple truth is rarely pure and never simple.
-- Oscar Wilde

We are all solely responsible for ourselves. Bottom line.

The ease with which some people accept the mudanity of everyday life amazes me. Am I alone in not being content to waste my time at a job I don't like, living somewhere that bores me, wasting away every second?

 

[red_rose]

...Sometimes, I just wonder if I'm solely culpable for overcomplicating things...

draaah, honey. You just scared the hell out of me.

I was on the phone with my ex just now... the world in his mind is 10 times more complicated than mine ever gets....

And, I swear to you... He just used the exact same words you did.

I just checked the thread after hanging up with him and you gave me shivers!!

 

[Kitte]

Draaah,

I keep posting and still keep coming back here. I think you really just hit the nail on the head and I want to thank you. I think Im having one of those days too

Of course you're not.

Or reading something written by a really good writer and wondering why it's never that easy or good when you write it.

 

[Velius]

That's comforting, in a rather insufficient way. LOL

Exactly.
