Do You Like My Havering?
I never get anything done as I make time for people who want things from me. It's not that I hate people. I don't like people. I never meant to think anything of people. I imagine my apathy would disgust any other person and instead of trying to reconcile myself with society, I just avoid people who assume that I want anything of them. This is why strangers are such great companions. I hate the artifice of conversation that occurs when people see my ugly mug. I behold a person in regard to the words they are capable of. I look at them and wonder if they would ever say, of their own volition, anything profound. That is what I want. The words that break the commonplace.

I feel ugly. My face is not even average. It is strange and rare in its subtle deformity. My lips protrude and effect disgust. My eyes have circles under them. The roundness of my face makes me seem incompetent. I have always wanted to be liked. It was never within me to like myself. I wanted consolation from others. Therein is happiness. With acceptance of my entire being is the end of my weary struggle. Because I just wanted to be loved and cared little for the world further. Is my simplicity so vapid?

I don't know why I write things down. I feel that these words should be recorded. I enjoy reading the things I have written. There is a tranquility inherent in profound reflection. The effect of the true extraction of our subjective states is the sublime. These words are the kind that carry me through the late strains of the soul, when we stay awake and try to remember what we are living for, what we wished to have accomplished at the end of the day before we go to sleep, the end of the night without the satisfaction of having gained anything. This is how time haunts me.

3rd P: So you think that what ever you do during the day isn't worth while? I think everyone does something, has something to be proud of. The only person you have to prove anything to is yourself.

2nd p: "I have always wanted to be liked." I'm sure people like you. I love your writing. You put emotion into your words. I love reading your journals! (If you don't want me to just say so though)

1st P: I can be your friend. "... strangers are such great companions." I hold the same belief.

I'm sorry if I got into your business and it bothers you that I replied so thoroughly, but I want to give you feedback, and hopefully some support.

I feel that you and I are made differently. I feel that the things that make you and the thing that make me are wholly different. It is like two opposing schools of architecture that consider different principles of aesthetic and efficiency and purpose. Both capable of producing large buildings, we are human for different reasons.

Regardless, I am curious about what desire you seek to satisfy by commenting in my journal. Unlike other people I have encountered, I do not see it as an intrusion upon my privacy. I have no such illusions. I merely want to know what it is that you want that you should make such words for me to reply to.
