ooh that's dark. 

> I have nothing to say. I have everything to say.

Yup. I watched the Pilot season and 1st season of Seinfeld yesterday, in one sitting. 
It's a show about nothing, was soothing. 

Have you tried blogging about recipes #uselesseaters ? 

On a more serious note, when i'm asked how i'm doing or how things are I also struggle to engage with such mundane pleasantries. There's no stock standard response so I come up with something on the fly and have noticed my answers are becoming more brutally honest (which is great!). 

Here's a conversation with the only cafe left in this city I go to

Q: How's your day? Been busy, boss? 
A: No, I'm still trying to figure out what to do. I lost my job over the "vaccine" mandates. 
Q: Oh, that's no good.... *embarrassed silence* 

Q: Hopefully..   *cut him off*
A: "Hopefully" is what got me, you, us into this situation and hopefully wont help anyone get out of it. 

A: Have a great day and see you next time!!!!

*Take my coffee and leave*

reminds me of my dad, he used to say the same thing:

>that it’s just something people ask, but are rarely interested in knowing.

he said we would have to answer with "im okay", because u know, that moral duty of being honest with our fellow citizens hahah and I remember agreeing with this and feeling his bitterness, lol, now I guess I still do agree, but I answer whatever to this question now when in the past I tried to do as him, lol, I barely remember the annoying small talk anymore, so I don't remember what I answered, lmao. I guess I dont care anymore(? I don't even want to think of it, kinda a waste of time now, somehow.

in any case, what i mean is that I FEEL YA.

Nice post n nice pics! :)

A simple "hello", a welcoming smile and above all, the ability to endure a few seconds of silence while waiting for the response of the interlocutor, this is from my point of view the invitation to a communication marked by simplicity, consideration and overture to the other. No obligation, just a window of a possible meeting, or not, to the other, the space of a moment! 
How do you like to be approached, in these small moments of everyday life filled with formalities and that seem unimportant and yet are sometimes so meaningful and revealing?
Once again thank you for this sharing full of humanity and search for truth. 
Always a pleasure to read you  :)

It’s disturbing how relatable this is to me. Lately I’ve responding ‘I’m alive’ to the how are yous. Alive because I’m breathing and existing but not because I actually feel alive. 
I’m losing it too. X.

You and my wife may have a conversation about this topic lol you are both on the same page! I guess I'm not done with people so I don't have these types of thoughts and rather enjoy conversation. The small talk like "how are you" is always an interesting one and I make it a point now to not just add some trivial thing like "good" but give some detail. I enjoy detail! :D

I like how your chipmunk seizure embodies the emotion of your post.

> I have nothing to say. I have everything to say.

Hi, it's been a while, Amica. I have a lot to talk about, 
I also have a lot of nothin' to talk about. Errm, **“same”**...

<sup><sup><sup><sup><sup><sup><sup><sup><sup><sup><sup><sup><sup><sup><sup><sup> ...!discovery 25... </sup> </center>

Seems like we're both doing OK... **Ordinarily KO'd** from Babylon and the never ending bullshit and noise...

I just wish to close my eyes and find peace for once, damned train of thoughts, they ran quicker than my ability to process them sometimes 😂

>My patience isn’t there for faking it, for saying what people want to hear. Its better I not speak at all. Self-silenced, shut those words down. Go do visual art instead. 

I silenced myself a lot lately, stopped giving away my energy as I am looking for where to redirect it! Visual art is indeed good, still haven't found my things but it's there somewhere! 


>“How are you?” At this point, I no longer want to answer that question at all. My usual answer of “Okay” is no longer workable. I have started answering that question with “Same”

Never thought about it like that 😅
Here in UK everyone says "You OK?" as a conversation starter, but it's all fake, the fake politeness, the fake empathy, fake shit everywhere, if you ever answer "Not really" that just puts the other person in an ugly spot and it ends up being your fault for being "too sensitive", so why they ask? !LOL

>Words fail me.

I have a shitty relationship with words because once my main language was Italian, but then I went so all in on the English that I now feel almsot illiterate in italian and I have some big gaps on data in my brain that sometimes I wonder "How the fuck did I manage to be able to thrive for so long in such a mad society with this crappy brain of mine?" !LOL

Hope some of this made you laugh because that's how I take it, I laugh about it because if I don't laugh I have to cry... 😂😂😂

FUCK... 🤦‍♂️🤣🤣🤣🤣
