i found something that i wrote a long time ago. i like it, it has the flow of writing that i dont often reach anymore. perhaps i can get past my distraction and find more writing within me, thats what i have been trying to do lately.:


I do a lot of things however fewer things get to do me.
Some would say that im a people person and i suppose that it is true.
I like people and people like me.
even mediating conflicts,
i can navigate the dangers of five roomates with conflicting personalities.
i like to write.
I used to write a lot of poetry, but i havent written much lately.
i like writing stories but write them even more rarely.
Lately i only seem to be journalling obsessively.
I observe a lot.
I like to watch people in crowds.
i like even more to watch people up close.
Watching is even better with naked people.
I tend to think a lot.
I think about what i am doing.
I think about how i think.
I think about being aware of what might be going on around me.
I think about subtle things.
I dream.
I dream like living movies.
I dream like reality, but not quite.
I dream so much that i sleep too late.
perhaps im dreaming my life away.
I read.
I read books about mystics, magic, messiahs, shamans, and zen masters.
I read about a lot more than that but a lot less than i could.
I've read considerably fewer books than i own.
I live.
I live a lot.
Sometimes i think i might be living more than other people are.
Maybe they just dont know that they are living.
maybe they know they are living but wonder…
how could I live anymore than i am now?
why would I want to live anymore?
Maybe the decision to not try and improve oneself is the choice to wait for death.
One who is waiting for death lives no more.
Now on the other hand one can contemplate…
why would I want to live any less?
maybe the decision to try and improve oneself is to learn from one's experiences.
That is to experience.
To expeience is to learn about living from living.

I would if I could but I cant.

Usually about once a week I just start writing for some random amount of time, then I just stop, and can't think the idea further for another week. Each time I have a revelation, and always remember the basic idea of it. But later on when I try to read it, it doesen't make any sence, but I still remember what I was goign at some how.

When it happens I usually write some vauge, long series of paragraphs, with poor sentence structure, a small vocabulary, barberic hand writing.

It usually looks something like this.

Nececity comes from war, and so forth when it doesent than it is kind of just life, that's how it works. What is the difference between war-nececity and life, I don't really know I must find out.

It usually is more lengthy than that and makes less sence, but I kind of forced that one out and it didn't really work.

keep working on it. try to write about things you feel or are close to you in your life. it sounds like you hear your daimon's voice yet it is still too far away. a daimon is kind of like a guardian spirit that helps you in more ethereal realms, and help you to evolve. i have come to know my own through my inspired writing. sometimes as you have said, incomprehensible, other times with great clarity and insight. keep up the good work.
good day

HEhehe found one. It's about a month old. I've copied the exact grammar I put into it, so it seems a bit strange.

Self is memory, memory is past percepts, and experience In how towards it. Mental is part of memory, pressure is build up of stress, and mential memory to eveuntally create a desire, or can be resistent. most of teh actions com from accepting pressure as our own self, but is actually giving into the desires, and requirements of others who are also basin gthemselves on pressure. Movement? It is a religeon, or belief, but what is the origine? Movement is (I think) when pressure leades to so many desires, that it becomes a process. It could also be called a way of life. If all movements, and ways of life/lifestyles are resisted, then on emakes ones own decisions of desire, or not. to do this pressure must mentally be dismissed as trivial. After this are there really any goals? Perhaps. Perhaps not. It depends on the person/self/memory. Goals come from movement. Good and bad, desire, non desire, self perfection, acceptence of peers. Without these movements there are no goals. Only nececities which are food, water, shelter, clothign, clenlyness, and rest. these needs can only be quenched temporarily, and only through work. To only work, and quench needs, by rejecting all movements, is in itsself a movement. Therefore one can not act without following atleast one movement. The question is what movement, or movements, oen should chose.

MOVEMENTS:
Good, Evil, right, rong, religeon, self improvement, self glorifying, self indulgence, or hethenism, slef deprivation, self moderation, self abstanence, self controll, self love, self hate, hate, love, war, revenge, peace, posessions/desires, charity, respect, dicipline, work, non work, Hermitism, knowledge, non knowledge, truth, wisdom, foolishness, lies, imagination, creativity, servitude, love(twards the oppiside gender), lust, envy, addiction, pressure, non pressure, self entertainment, cheating, stealing, sin, crime, racism, justice, fairness, happyness, bliss, experience, strength, weakness, controll, pain, insanity, humor

I cant understand the handwriting in the rest.

I couldn't translate it for you, but I still remember that it means, that we give into peer pressure, and steryotypes, like gender, adn race, so much, that we think they are our real deisres.

very good, keep working on it, keep a journal if you dont already. how old are you? im guessing fifteen. i used to carry a notebook or two around with me everywhere i went, one for journaling events and one for poetry, creative writing and ramblings. i dont record many events anymore but now keep a pocket journal at all times for notes and revelations. when you practice reading and writing it gets better, also seek clarity, i cant say how exactly, just work on it and it will come. they say seek and ye shall find. with patience it is very often true.

all of the rough writing is good for you to do, to get all of the info out, and that last sentence is the distillation, the valuable message cut free from the weighty distractions of the raw form.

I do have a journal in my room, when I have these writing urges at night, but I don't walk around with it, because I am affraid of winding up taking medecine for some illness I don't allready have.

I am 13.

ALso I would like to say that there is no real need for me to keep this text I write.

I allways remember the concept of what I was writing, and never understand the writing itsself when I read it.

I have a great memory of facts, and concepts, but not of names. That is why I often have problembs talking at normal speed.

i like to keep writing because i read it later and it has new meaning, i have a different understanding of past insights. it is like a window and when i look through it later i see something new and can perhaps reconnect with the energy that i had connected with in the first writing. but we each will learn our own ways and your way will be very different than mine is as mine is very different than many others.

Wow. I sometimes get a good writers block. But I get good inspiration from movies I watch. I write a lot of fantasy, vampire and a bit of fanfics. Not many. It's just hard to get inspired sometimes. But when you get it, the flow of the story continues on. I have a few of my works in my journal.
