THE WRITER MUST EAT -> patreon.com/trn1ty <- | \ | | blah! |\ | `\|\ | the rantings and ravings |/ |(_|| | * of a depraved lunatic <^> 2023-12-21 I have thought disorder that makes it really hard to convey the things in my head into things expressed in text. One dimensionally. A string of characters. Projecting the landscape of my mind is difficult in the same way drawing is. Trying to force a two dimensional world into 128 characters. __________ / _______ /| I have this thing I like to draw, the frame of a cube. The / /| ____/ / | edges of the cube, the spaces between the edges, and then / //||| / //|| the edges behind those spaces. It's a practice in three / //||||_/ //||| dimensional visualization. I can't do it. Every time I draw /_________ //_||| the cube I draw it wrong. A line is where it shouldn't be, I | ______ ||_/// made it inconsistent, some elementary mistake. I suppose a | ||/// | ||/// lot of people couldn't draw the cube right the first time | ||//___| ||// but I feel like I should be able to. That's how conversation | |/_____| | / feels. One crucial thing is missing, one inconsistency, and |__________|/ the whole thing is wrong, and I didn't notice it because it was so hard to do the other edges. To make the thing link up. I don't notice my own circular logic, my own contradictions, and often others don't either. But when they do they say I'm bullshitting them. Really it's the spaces in between, the spaces I can't draw, drawn by the voids in my head, that are bullshitting me. It's hard to communicate with others for it. Thought disorder is a symptom, not a disease, as I understand it, but I'm not gonna read into it, at least publicly. I dissociate. I switch out sometimes or lose myself in the words. I make word salad. I say things because they sound good, not because they make sense. Et cetera. Fuck. I'm not continuing this. It's isolating. The very fabric of my mind is sewn wrong. Differently, yes. I think similarly to some of my peers whose minds are beyond most. But wrong. There are little threads that lead to the wrong areas of the cloth, stitches too long and too short and some put in after, even, the weaving of the factory to pull closed areas I'd like to have used.
