BE GREATER.

so, what am i doing - playing Marvel's Spider-Man (Spider-Man PS4) with my depression music in my ears. the thing with being sad, it follows you around and people can see it.

 so they always ask how you're doing and if you feel any better. the thing with compassion, as well, it just makes you sadder because the idea that someone cares is just so damn precious.

 anyway, this game gives me soothing relief and it isn't just because it's my favourite superhero of ever.

 no.

 it's special to me, in addition, because it's about a 23 year old young man who's just graduated from university, finding his way after a break up and just found a job as an intern.

 i see myself in that suit.

 i see myself in those checkered shirts.

 the story reminds me of my mission; be greater than what you suffer.

 be greater than the heartbreak. 

 be greater than the confusion. 

 be greater than the doubt. 

 it's about proving a point to everyone, including my darker self, that i am greater.

 i can rise to the challenge and be greater.

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...
