are you confused? does the bottom always drop out? do you feel like you're walking in the clouds? nothing you can make out above or below? do you feel like a whale in the black water? anything could come from any direction and all you can do in response is move forward and swallow? do you read and find yourself wondering how one sentence came after another sentence? what was the writer thinking following this one clump of words after this other clump of words? do your tabs build up? a million daily discrete bits of information and it’s impossible to tame any of it? Eh bien, i know, believe me. i promise i am at least as confused as you are. this is your safe space as it is mine, post your confusion! the characters and the literature and what are you confused about? we are in this together

I wish you were a girl
A girl who is as soft as silk
But silky from the inside out
Don't get me wrong, I like you anyway
I'll be with you today
You can show me your way

Cause I feel green, if you know what I mean
Don't be so nice to me, cause I feel awkward

I wish you were a girl
But I'm not sorry that you're not
Cause I'm still flattered
Don't get me wrong but everything's so new
Cause I'm not scared for some reason
Cause I got naked with you

Cause I feel green, if you know what I mean
Don't be so nice to me, cause I feel awkward

Cause if you were a girl (woah)
Nothing would seem to matter
Cause if you were a girl (woah)
I wouldn't really care

I wish you were a girl
I hate what I just said
I wish you were a girl for some reason
I don't know, but someone told me to
Cause I feel green, if you know what I mean
Don't be so nice to me, cause I feel awkward

Cause if you were a girl (woah)
Nothing would seem to matter
Cause if you were a girl (woah)
I wouldn't really care
If you were a girl (woah)
Come on over and see me
If you were a girl, woah

I'm sinning for another answer
I'm sinning for my right to care
I'm laughing but it's not so funny
So take me far away from here

I wish you were a girl, I wish you
I wish you were a girl, I wish you
I wish you were

I wish you were a girl, I wish you
I wish you were a girl, I wish you
I wish you were

I think I would have been better off born as a goat herder in a bygone era
the missus and i daydream of rural life (but the farmers might think the reverse)

ty suggestions anons. the only respite in confusion is other confused people

>(but the farmers might think the reverse)
true i think the confused lesson is that never nobody has ever been happy with the way things are, ever. i balance on one scale fields of grass and my daughter churning butter, and on the other my ereader with every book i want immediately from libgen, and i cant decide, and my life already decided for me

can you embrace confusion? can you lean in and somehow come to understanding through it? or is it some thing that must be solved or refuted?

oh in terms of literature i'm reading life a users manual by georges perec , and its very confusing. I like how material it is though, i enjoy getting lost in the cascade of objects and anecdotes and scenes within scenes, all tied to a particular apartment building
