My mind feels like a toilet bowl full of shit. I'm doing my best to clear the water but it is difficult to find clarity when the world is constantly trying to persuade me to adopt this reality, or that reality. I am trying to retreat into books that I feel like I should have read by now, but somehow didn't. It feels conspiratorial that I think I know the Odyssey and the Iliad, but have never read them- that it was doled out to me in safe bites via excerpts from subpar schooling (and learning for that matter) as well as other homogenized media that fully distilled any wickedness that might stoke the imagination. What a pretentious shithead I am.
