Always have something to do. If you don&#8217;t want to do it, do something else.<\/p>\n<p>The weather has been alright recently, a bit unpredictable at times. It&#8217;s either really warm or quite cold, though, so it&#8217;s a bit uncomfortable. I wish it was summer. Summer reminds me of green things. Green, yellow, and the most vibrant blue you could ever imagine, bluer than the sports drinks from the corner-store. Bluer than you could ever imagine.<\/p>\n<p>I think I value freedom and communication above all else. Honesty is important, too. But there&#8217;s always a bit of lying involved to be entertained. But most everything can be solved by talking it through, like a rational adults. It&#8217;s silly to act a certain way and then pray that others will catch on. It&#8217;s ridiculous to assume that people will notice every little detail.<\/p>\n<p>But freedom is the biggest. Why bother with anything else when you can&#8217;t even try? Why daydream when you&#8217;re locked up? It isn&#8217;t a form of escapism, it&#8217;s torture. Sometimes you have no choice. Sometimes you do. I think I&#8217;d like to roam around aimlessly. Maybe I&#8217;ll be able to find what I&#8217;m looking for. Of course, I won&#8217;t know what I&#8217;m aiming for until I find it. Wish me luck.<\/p>\n<p>Wishing you were a better person is really stupid, now that I think about it. Coming to terms with being terrible is a good start, but often starting is enough. You can&#8217;t change human nature, right? Well, if you try hard enough, you can do almost everything. I guess reinventing yourself isn&#8217;t so hard, then. I think I&#8217;ll try.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=YPUYCUGxN10\">Half-truths and thoughts from a Wednesday night.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A good way to distract yourself from distractions is to keep busy.
