What I do really doesn't matter, but doing nothing or not trying to actively change my behavior makes the darkness in me manifest even darker. And I know a lot of times when I try and go do something I'll have a bad experience or run into some shitty stupid idiots,
but it's much better than sitting at home feeling bad about myself all day. Talking/venting to my friends and family helps too. Just know that with time things will eventually get better. feel free to PM me or msg me on steam if you need someone to talk to
That's definitely a hard thing for me to do...
what Chet said...
but yes, it is hard for me, too.
but whenever I manage to keep it moving even just a little bit
the bubble I'm trapped in floats back to the surface and pops
and I can breathe again
what a relief
thank you
only sometimes I think
maybe it's not all bad to stare into the abyss because
on rare occasions when I sunk deeper and deeper
I got to encounter something in the darkness
to confront & overcome
or forgive & let back in
and when i did
I was immediately washed ashore
treasure in my hand, sunrise warming my face
thank you
so while I'm up I know
it's all part of the psychonautic adventure
unwrapping the gift
only when I'm down
It's so easy to falter
and forget...
I wish you all the best
to keep travelling
and to remember we're here to help

I don't think it's commonly read. My prof links it with the modern rational sentimentalists, so we're going at it from that angle. Copy pasted your summary of his economics though, might come in handy if our discussion goes off topic (as it tends to do when you're discussing philosophy).

Damn, buddy. That's such terrible news.
Let's fuzz and hug it out when you feel like it. My aunt was diagnosed with breast cancer earlier this year. Caught it late as well, but she's in the clear now. It's rough, but stay positive. I'm from a family with lots of cancer too. Fucking blows. Keep close and take good care of each other.

Rationality is a common concept in his economical approach and in libertarian economy in general. Microeconomics, which is linked to the libertarian paradigm is based on the rationality of the economic agent. There's even a theory of actions based on economical rationality. All agents seek maximum effect for minimum effort. The ratio dictates the choice.
So yeah, not surprising that rationality comes up in his work on logic or sentiments.

No use worrying about what we can't affect, right? So I'm focusing on supporting her as much as I can. We've already been through it once with my grandmother, and she made a full recovery. Hopefully my mom will do the same. They didn't catch it early it seems, but she found the lump only last week, and will most likely go on the operating table next week. Then chemo and all that shit.
Anyway, thanks for the support you guys, I really appreciate it.
Now I got to go read fifty pages of Adam Smith for tomorrows seminar. It's half past ten in the evening over here. Yeah.
Here's to hoping they caught it early enough that they can get it all out and no chemo will be needed. My mom was hospitalized a couple months ago for something else and they ended up finding colon cancer. Luckily the cancer was growing along side instead of through so they were able to remove it all, nothing spread and no chemo.
Hopping for the best.

Fuck. Makes me feel better about not getting tracking or a message after two days here, but still that's got me on edge. Hope yours comes through soon.
I'M pissed off about people who write songs with Eb standard tunings.

At work, we monitor the weather a lot. Besides the fact that flooding in Cambridge, Mass gave me a shit ton of work to do (which in the end may actually result in securing some good contracts for the company, but probably not because 90% of our franchise managers don't acknowledge what we do for them), the low point of my day was not seeing a trajectory map of Hurricane Juaquin with Juaquin's Phoenix' face where the hurricane center would be. Preferably his mustachioed face in Gone Girl.
Stay dry, Boston friends (which, if I recall, is Mr. Jfrey).
