sometimes, I want to eat the syrup that Billy Pilgrim eats at the factory in Dresden
“And I asked myself about the present: how wide it was, how deep it was, how much was mine to keep.”
- Kurt Vonnegut, “Slaughterhouse-Five”
“When I was 15, I spent a month working on an archeological dig. I was talking to one of the archeologists one day during our lunch break and he asked those kinds of ‘getting to know you,’ questions you ask young people: Do you play sports? What’s your favorite subject?
And I told him, no I don’t play any sports. I do theater, I’m in choir, I play the violin and piano, I used to take art classes. And he went WOW. That’s amazing! And I said, "Oh no, but I’m not any good at ANY of them.”
Then he said something that I will never forget and which absolutely blew my mind because no one had ever said anything like it to me before: "I don’t think being good at things is the point of doing them. I think you’ve got all these wonderful experiences with different skills, and that all teaches you things and makes you an interesting person, no matter how well you do them."
And that honestly changed my life. Because I went from being a failure, someone who hadn’t been talented enough at anything to excel, to someone who did things because I enjoyed them. I had been raised in such an achievement-oriented environment, so inundated with the myth of talent, that I thought it was only worth doing things if you could ‘win’ at them.”
- Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.

2-25-22 || It snowed! It only lasted for a day but it was so pretty anyways. I got coffee with a friend, and I went to my stats class.
Lately I've been reading Slaughterhouse Five, and it's pretty good so far. I'm only a third of the way through the book, but I'm enjoying it.
No studying content, honestly because my notes and setups haven't been pretty lately. Sorry!
Also, rereading Slaughterhouse Five is much sadder as an adult. It doesn't seem as goofy and poetically disjoint. It just feels traumatized. It's unsettling how much I relate to a lot of it. The absurdity of all suffering, the disconnect in time because of dissociation, the lack of emotional reaction or connection to literally any event that's happening, positive or negative. Also, writing about a traumatic event and experience through a third party character. Literally removing yourself from the plot (except for like two spots where Vonnegut actually mentions his presence, one where he's shitting his brains out, the other a single word commentary). The blur between dream and reality, and doubt of what reality is. Like. Holy shit. Idk. Maybe I'm projecting but damn.
Kurt Vonnegut on Joseph Heller..
