I can't write like I used to

Now I just catch a whim every couple months or so and am able to pump out one om piece that I like. I don't wanna force it even though it would probably help me.

This is cheaper and less stressful, and I don't have to live with mediocrity.

Fuck that's growing up I guess, ever since I started teaching it's defined me way more than I'd like it to. Not to mention I feel a good decade older than I actually am.

I work a job I'm good at and hate every second of it. Decent pay.

I think about being a vagabond a lot.

I have serious obligations to tend to, though.

I'd love nothing more than to write all day poor as shit. Even if I never made a living of it, which is beyond likely, at least I'd enjoy it.

After I read Walden, I realized that's all I'd really like to do

Henry David Thoreau was a boss ass bitch

I looked it up because I knew you had more than four losses last season alone. You went 3-5 last season, 0-1 in last season's playoffs, 1-0 in the Writing Challenge League and 0-1 this season.

YDK · 03-05-2014, 12:40 AM

ahh okay I didn't realize the writing challenge thing affected the records an I forgot about the ones lol dammit now I gotta go 3-0 to break even and be satisfied again.
I gotta computer now, I can do it :D

we're millennials bro. I've been feeling that exact way for the past 5 years, no joke. that's why I'm satiating my wanderlust and moving to Korea in the fall.

Certain · 03-05-2014, 12:45 AM

I like my job, but I want to be more than it.

I like teaching, too. I see it more of a fallback now. I feel like I'm capable of doing a lot more than teaching, which sounds pretentious but fuck if I don't feel that way. idk, I don't wanna pour too much into this rant, cuz I could ramble on about this existential crisis of mine for days - that's really defined me much more than my job in my own reflection.

Certain · 03-05-2014, 12:54 AM

YOU GET AN EXISTENTIAL CRISIS! AND YOU GET AN EXISTENTIAL CRISIS! AND YOU GET AN EXISTENTIAL CRISIS! EXISTENTIAL CRISES FOR EVERYBODY!

Bayside used to be the band that I listened to on the bus back in highschool. It might have even been the reason I made it to 2nd period before I fled each time. Love that band
