BIENVENUE

i'm kago modise - friendly neighbourhood gamer, resident introvert and exiting undergraduate. i've been a writer for as long as i can remember and people have been on my case about starting my own blog. of course, i had my reservations since i was so critical of my work and i lack the discipline to see any of them through to completion but here i am -  taking the proverbial leap of faith.

let's just jump into it, right? i can't deal with small talk and i think the blog equivalent of that is listing my life in a feature like you actually care when i know you don't.

i wake up every day thinking existentially, making it to the next day really is a blessing because that's one more night that i didn't die in my sleep. it's hearing about things like that happening to other people that make me appreciate how fickle life is - one minute you're alive and the next, you're not. at times, i think life is just a sick joke. like the great meeseeks says: ''existence is pain''. there's nothing more arbitrary in this life than life itself.

but i think there's something liberating, funny enough, of the meaninglessness of existence - nothing matters. no one is going to be around long enough to care since we're just intelligent perishables so you might as well have a blast. just because we're doomed to oblivion, it doesn't mean we can't enjoy our human time. 

ever since i started to look at life that way, balance has been restored; in the spiritual sense but more on that later.

man, i'll bet someone who knows me is reading this like: ''he finally did it''.

UNGUARDED.

so, here's my thing - depression is not easy to beat but when you beat it, you beat the daylights out of it. the major problem isn't winning the war but staying victorious. i remember conquering the mindless chatter of my lower self years before and the struggle to even let my feet touch the floor. it didn't take long but i was right back in it. you can feel the emptiness of a dark time in your life and finally be okay with it but the question is: what are you filling that emptiness with?  i only had more emptiness; pay attention to the tense - "had". things are different now. i'm different now.

''It's less about the damage done...''

This is my final addition to this level of the Mind Palace; at least on this particular... topic. What started as a university project turned into an emotionally explosive manner of introspection - a monument to the gravity of my suffering. I've played the injured for far too long, immersing myself in the misery and struggling to digest the ''red pill'' realities of what's going on but, you know what, in that immersion I've come to many, many, many realizations. Being broken up with was hard, still is - especially when I think about the illusory half-truths I fell for. When I thought I was setting the relationship up for the next phase of its development, I was actually leaving myself unprepared for its last phase. FOUR MONTHS LATER . Let me address the person who inspired this perspective directly -  I've thought carefully and intently on every word you're reading. You've taught me more in the last two weeks than th...

'CAUSE THIS IS WHAT I LIVE FOR.

you see the strange thing with tragedy, it helps you sort your priorities out very quickly. when death descends and the end comes, you turn your gaze to what's left. i have several sub-psychotic fits, many on this very blog, about the lingering impact of being rejected by someone once close to me but there's more to me than millennial angst. there are moments i have at work, speaking to people or even just tapping some digi-letters on my phone that a part of my mind ignites, like a neurological blaze. expression and creation - i was born for these. finding a captivating way of providing meaningful insight into what my reality looks like is my equivalent of discovering, pardon me, re-discovering a new element. a design writes itself out in my head and i make associations with everything i can possibly remember, relevant to the topic. i try not to think of the idea in my mind but my mind in the idea; understanding things from the jump completes half your work.   i sup...
