Me and Mr. Void

Mr. Void just represents empty space and personal reflection. It's a character that represents my honest attempts to abstract something.

I no longer have delusions, if I may reveal my symptoms for a short while. I just label them as auditory hallucinations. I label them as part of me. I can sometimes control what they say. Be that as it may, I try so very hard to remain open to criticism and feedback from others who aren't me. I do attend counseling/therapy sessions.

I'm not anti-social, I'm just vastly depressed. Indefinitely so. I'm just barely surviving. So this is all I get sometimes. Video games, creating music, exercise, wandering and meandering around town, visiting coffee shops, plenty of reading and writing, especially in a private journal.

I don't know. I just wish I could turn back time and change the past. I'm wishing for something impossible. It makes me feel so obtuse and dull. Stupid, even.

Nice, lil' meme I found out in the wild

Yes, my diagnosis includes schizophrenia

Go have fun today, neighbor. Take at least one chance to goof around and be zany or wacky. Take things easy, take things cheesy, but be good to yourself, I respect the process

Selfie Sunday

It takes a great deal of effort to put myself through this kind of haircut. I have sensitive skin. My house is untidy and disgusting. I am surviving. That's all I can focus on or work on. I guess it counts for something, but I'm stuck in a cycle of grief and anger and sorrow and other kinds of staggering perplexities

Life shouldn't be like this

This is not a great story to relate to, but it is how I genuinely feel. I am glad I read it, but it's so very sad and grim

Add a PS5 and some "gamer bottles" collected in the corner and this is basically me in my lil' bedroom just trying to survive and push forward

I'm basically just a lil' hermit who's happy to still try sharing his company

Yes, my diagnosis includes schizophrenia

I love wizard cloaks. If I had extra moolah, I'd get one for going out in public lol

Why Am I Like This?

(It's a mix of some kind between poetry and prose. It's just a very honest expression, most importantly. Thank you. Yes, my diagnosis includes schizophrenia.)

------------------------

After careful and heedful

And contemplative consideration,

After more than 30 years

Upon this vast and titanic rock,

I think I'm like this

Because of my family.

Because of their awkward

And clumsy attempts

At trying to socialize with each other.

Because of their inability

To gaze ahead oh, so slightly.

Because I'd rather stay curious

About a topic such as foresight.

It's nothing paranormal.

It's nothing supernatural.

It's nothing otherworldly.

It's nowhere near omniscience.

Even then, I'm just hoping to reveal

The contents of my perspective.

I can't judge anyone first and foremost

Except for myself.

Once you learn how to think

Before you act,

It feels like such a valuable investment

More often than not.

Once you find significance

In your own intellectual wealth,

You might try to seek out

Worthy and trusty companions,

Credible and reliable confidants.

Be that as it may,

I'd rather not be stuffy and stodgy.

I'd rather not be hubristic and insolent.

I'd rather not be contemptuous

And combative.

I just want to utter my ideas aloud

Without wondering if I'll be

Ignored and neglected,

Overlooked and rejected.

This piece was inspired by my visit to my mother on Mother's Day.

Echoes can still pass through the hallways of the imagination, friend

I try to write in my journal when I can. I have to put what's honest and realistic in there, but it's mostly unfiltered sludge, unfortunately

I do create poems every so often. I write lyrics for songs. I play drums and percussion. I make music with my brother. I do talk to a counselor

It's still significantly difficult to walk this path

Would love a good pointer or tip, I love odd signatures. I'm currently getting a small drum solo ready for a live performance soon, it'll have 5/4 and 7/8 in it.

I'd love some recommendations on polyrhythms, though.

I saw the word "Disalliance" in my dream once. I checked the dictionary during the morning after, I noticed that it's technically listed as "Misalliance", so I had a typo in my dream.
