As an artist and a writer there is an aspect that requires connecting to feelings and sadly I've found that its a lot easier to find negative emotion than it is to feel happy.
The habit of experiencing tragedy voluntarily is certainly one of the most inexplicable human impulses. A YouTube channel made up the word ‘lachesism’ to describe that odd habitual fantasising about being in some sort of disaster or traumatic scenario and surviving. I do think there’s some use for it, perhaps trying to process by reliving. Very likely though these painful moments were when we felt the most real and we can step out of our constant self-awareness for a bit, since our lives are so distant and unfelt today.
I really appreciate this post; it stirred some good inner monologue. Habitual thoughts and feelings. We can all think things that make us sad, in fact, how many of us are always thinking about how our current situation can go wrong? Or spend our quiet time in make believe worst case scenarios?
How much would our lives improve by simply making the effort to set our minds on beauty, and gratitude? Give thanks for your meals, friends.
