hm. given the amount of practice, my feelings concerning my performance is no surprise. not that i believe that i’m undeserving, just that i’ve made a habit of holding myself accountable against my own expectations and ability. less about achieving perfection and more about actualization of intention — being who i want to be. the curse of progress provides little satisfaction in indulgence. fleeting feelings of accomplishment are eroded swiftly — mercilessly — by time, consumed under the constant threat of irrelevance.

so, back to the lab.

but first, it’d be nice to be in perfect working condition.

A Calm Place at Sea,

aka april amalgamations.

truth.

"Do not disturb yourself by picturing your life as a whole; do not assemble in your mind the many and varied troubles which have come to you in the past and will come again in the future, but ask yourself with regard to every present difficulty: 'What is there in this that is unbearable and beyond endurance?' You would be ashamed to confess it! And then remind yourself that it is not the future or what has passed that afflicts you, but always the present, and the power of this is much diminished if you take it in isolation and call your mind to task if it thinks that it cannot stand up to it when taken on its own.”
