NEW MOTTO

What's in a motto?

Most of the time, something is better than nothing. Is a bad thing better than nothing? Mostly, no. Sometimes, worse.

I read a good example of this 'better nothing than a bad thing' in a book I edited recently: 'How Children Fail' by John Holt.

I loved my old motto ("Take the pain, do something"), but '...because, we're already here' captures more about how I am now: Been trying, but nothing changes yet. Still finding my way out of my old dehumanizing life circle... getting impatient and bored.
 

DON’T CHALLENGE ME FOR NOW

I don’t know how to answer you now, my friend…
I just can’t think about challenges right now… I’m just so occupied with something else.

I can’t explain myself to you… while I have a lot to explain to myself right now.
I can’t answer your questions… while I have a lot questions for myself right now.

Just let me be… for now.
 

BETTER OFF ALIVE

As I’m thinking that I’m better…
As I’m thinking I’m better… another one, another case… slams on my face.

Will I ever find anyone who can really relate to me? Ever? Never?
So many people… no connection… eventually.

I know I’m rotten… but I’m already here. So help me… to save and make good over what’s left of my existence…
Or I can only sink deeper into a more meaningless life.
A waste. Better off dead.
