Second Thought – 22nd September 2024

Burn all the books
It’s a cultural revolution
All the thoughts thought
Provided no solution

Dump it in the trash
Far away from winning
The sign says “not in use”
Start again at the beginning

With a second thought
Philosophy is stupid
Is it a world of facts?
Or is it only reputed?

Today I’m feeling:

Not too bad today, at least in the morning. I got up at a reasonable time, partly in preparation for going back to school tomorrow at the normal time.

I spent a few hours at Utopia reading and writing and could get myself into the flow for that which felt good.

By afternoon, though I ran out of energy and napped and have been lazy and run down since. I hope that feeling doesn’t carry over to tomorrow.

Health:

Physical: 6
Mental: 7

Today I’m grateful for:

Noey being back from overseas and bringing me a couple of small gifts and making my coffee today. It was good to see her again and it sounded like she had a great time on her travels.

The best thing about today was:

Hmm – today felt like a day of two halves, the first with energy and positivity and whilst I still felt positive later, my lack of energy was disappointing. So nothing in particular stands out to me today.

Something I learned today?

I made my first poetry Instagram post today and will start learning more about it and give it a go to try and get some more eyes on my writing somehow. With no friends or followers added yet, though I have had zero views in 8 hours!

I also updated my MacBook and iPhone, which now means that I can mirror the iPhone and write directly from my keyboard into this app. This makes writing a lot easier and I would only have been able to do it before by paying for the premium option.

Review your acts, Good and bad.

By following students on Instagram, I found out that today is Rista’s birthday and so I sent her birthday wishes. She’s a nice, lively kid and I like her a lot.
