holy cow i just watched jason rosenthal’s ted talk and it also had me crying

AKR’s ‘you may want to marry my husband’ destroyed me. why do the purest loves always have to end. i hate cancer so much ;-;

i wonder if he did get married again

for best hookup results use your words, ok?

men just like being sweet talkers universally i guess

so he looked like dad. it was just dinner, right?

this unearthed some weird emotions in me. maybe there is more processing to be done.

i’ve only read 2 stories so far and both have made me tear up… ahhhhh love is such a funny thing

Dissection of matt has got me crying 😭

confront the experience of meaninglessness itself

fun is doing things because u want to

interesting passage abt upside vs light at the end of the tunnel (and relation to self pity), although i am not quite sure i fully understand & there r no discussions online :(

when he died i stopped having dreams

until now i had been able only to grieve, not mourn. grief was passive. grief happened. mourning, the act of dealing with grief, required attention.

what i’m hearing is men are stupid across generations and cultures 😾

new ethical duty to enjoy oneself & congee

reading a bit on the plane before I fell asleep

The room was cold, or I was.

2 pages in and already moved to tears 😭 the descriptions of her house in the aftermath of death are what my story “by design” wanted to be

Read “the 18th Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte”
Was interesting but at times a slog. I think I like pure philosophy more than historical philosophy. Will say it was cool that I can now understand the quoted French :D

Read ‘manifesto of the communist party’: was convinced in the first 30% then was skeptical for 30% then got reconvinced then unconvinced again

we tell ourselves stories in order to live

the way this took me 5 hours to read LOL

read:
- marx on the history of his opinions
- discovering hegel
- to make the world philosophical

tbh I think I'm just oversaturated w philosophy today, so was sorta bored, but I do see the connections with hegel!!! "Aeolian harps (play) only when struck by the storm"

also kind of cute when marx said "it is in every respect, including that of style, the most beautiful letter I can imagine being written by a woman"

Not much use to you without you am I.
I still love you.
You make me cry.

Beauty. No great secret. Not ashamed to say I loved him for his beauty. As I would again if he came near. Beauty convinces. You know beauty makes sex possible.

Should be terrified of some of the questions you’re asking or you are not making any progress / getting useful information

how to not ask leading questions

Time as a network good reminds me a lot of college, people often make themselves busier simply because the people around them are busy. Free time seems to have less worth if had alone, and also there seems to be some status in being less reachable than those around you.

But there is something heartbreaking about the nineteenth-century Massachusetts textile workers who told one survey researcher what they actually longed to do with more free time: To “look around to see what is going on.”
