My primary source of happiness in life is thinking about ideas, pondering the nature of existence, collecting new knowledge and information, appreciating the nuance of said information, and articulating complex thoughts with prose. The things I dislike in life all revolve around what I deem to be purely for the sake of outward appearance, performance for the sake of image, repression of the self in effort to conform. I don’t think of myself as pessimistic, I think of myself as a person who handles things with thorough consideration. I think there is poetic beauty and spiritual enhancement in understanding the true nature of things, against the status quo if necessary. I actually enjoy who I am, the feelings I have, the thoughts I have, the ways in which others would deem me deficient, all of those things are things I like about myself. I like the fact that I question everything, no matter how “normal” it’s deemed. I like that the topology of my sense of self expands into more planes than my paycheque or brand names or the collectivist “checkboxes of life” posted in the bulletin board by the entrance to life in modern society.</p>
