Forever Knowing Nothing

Context is Through Which I Am Writing

From as early as I can remember I have always wanted to help people, regardless of the shape or form. I always have always had a passion in writing, though I’ve often I felt I needed to have something important or groundbreaking to say if I were to claim myself a writer. My life has had some crazy moments, but telling my life story always seemed cheesy and narcissistic and, therefore, right up…

Context is in the Past

I’m no psychologist, psychiatrist, or specialist in the brain. I will, however, claim to have a Ph.D. in exploring my own PTSD, OCD, bipolar swings, and spectrum tendencies. I get manic. I get depressed. I get triggered whenever I see a police officer. I ruminate, obsess, and do wild, stupid shit. Often. Then, I ruminate some more on that. I beat myself up constantly. I magnify my mistakes…

Context is a Foundation

One cannot hope to build a sturdy fortress if they do not know the land on which they are building upon. Context is the very foundation to all of our decision-making and no matter how hard we try, we are not thinking outside of it. Context is what we bring to the table when we talk about who we want to be, what we want for ourselves, and what we’re trying to do in this world. It can never be…

Context is a Caretaker

And with a wave of their magic wand, all the unhappiness and torment that ailed society for so long had suddenly disappeared out of thin air. Vanquished. The end. Sounds like the most boring story I’ve ever heard of. If you’re going to tell a good story, there needs to be a reason to be bought in to even getting to the end. Of course everyone wants world peace. Of course everyone wants child…

Context is My Intent: It's one thing to manage expectations if one cannot fulfill or act upon intentions. It's another to live into them without having to manage anything. Regardless, I am compelled to start in this way before this becomes anything.

Intention: A thing intended; an aim or plan.Or, in medicine, the healing process of a wound.Sometimes confused with intension, which is the internal content of a concept.My intention in this series is to set out understanding the intensions behind what I have explored in life through what I call the Universe of Context.You see, context is all around us. Context is many things, but what matters…

Looking Through Life’s Windows

Inspiration: Emails from WordPress telling me I need to optimize my content.

No. I optimize for no one but myself. Thank you. I will open a window to get a breeze in here, but I’m not moving even if you ask me to.

If there’s one lesson we can take away from an afternoon spent casually looking at one’s social media feed it is that I am clearly an incompetent, mithless, wrech of a being just…

An Artist Has Their Passions

Inspiration: https://planetplanet.net/2014/05/13/building-the-ultimate-solar-system/

Did you know that Sean Raymond put together a proposed model for building a ‘better’ universe?

In the model, he required himself to keep all of the Solar System’s planets (and large moons) and their orbital configurations.  But, just by switching the orbits of different planets and moons, he ‘built’ a Solar…

Ever think you’re about to do something amazing and then slip on the ice as soon as you step out onto the rink? Yeah, me too.

First impressions are everything in a world that is constantly sussing each other out.

I try so hard to make an impression that I don’t think I consider the follow-up to making one, which is maintaining the mark you’ve made in order to keep it from fading.

When…

When you create a routine, schedule, plan, or checklist, what you are doing is creating a standard by which you are hoping to adhere to. You have potentiated an action into existence, but the execution of it remains to be seen as committed to.

Standards are something we all have, whether we think we do or not.

Life has key performance indicators that we all pocket in our minds and check on…

Context is How You Know You’ve Done Enough

When a mouse is put into a maze with cheese at the end, it becomes conditioned to think working through such puzzles in the future will grant it reward.

But if you take a mouse and put it into maze after maze with no cheese at the end, eventually the reward will feel like a dream long enough to where it won’t feel real when it finally gets it.

That’s the best way I can describe what…

Have you ever had someone describe a movie to you in such raving detail that you find yourself disappointed and unenthusiastic while watching it?

This is similar to taking a seed and overdiluting it with water.

An idea needs room to grow with what is around it in order of it to breathe on its own.

When you give all the weight to an idea you are trying to have others accept, the topics…

Ever live into the idea of getting a job you were applying and interviewing for so much so that you already upgraded your living situation to anticipate it?

There’s the problem. Anticipation.

Anticipation of what is to come next is always what drives us up in the morning.

Anticipation is what drives us into action when we are making moves to protect ourselves.

But if there’s nothing…
