You have brains in your head and feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself any direction you choose.
You’re on your own and you know what you know.
And you are the one who’ll decide where to go,
Dr. Seuss
There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.
Ernest Hemingway
Hmmm… I wonder if I’m ready to bleed.
People talk so much about finding or knowing their “truth.” I’m still trying to figure out what that means.
For me, everything is so subjective; everything changes from day to day and sometimes from minute to minute. How can there be a “truth”?
Truth, to me, indicates yes or no/black or white or some other absolute. I have made a practice of trying hard to not engage in absolutes.
Feeling this way makes me feel like part of me is lacking, somehow. Because I haven’t discovered my “truth,” there’s some part of fulfillment/discovery/enlightenment that I’m missing out on.
Yes. A lot of times, I don’t even know who in the hell I actually am. Wanna know the freaky thing? Nine out of ten times, I’m perfectly okay with that. That leaves a lot of doors open for me, and it has given me many opportunities and put me in contact with a lot of great people.
Truth, though? I’ll let you know if I ever find some deep, meaningful truth buried with my soul. It would surprise me, though. I love the shades of grey out there.
Hmmm… maybe my truth is that there is no truth.
“The truth is rarely pure and never simple.”
