wow. how very strange-I've been thinking(feeling? in general, I think in the West there's too much emphasis on feeling. Maybe it's a contemporary thing, I wouldn't know. But i was part of my cultural..adjustment when I came here. Not that people feel, obviously they do -but because they're constanly asked about it, and seem to be talking about it, and ..as Nabokov mocked, "we feel that Dolly.." while not guessing in the least what actually happens to Dolly)...omg that was long ..where was I ? I was ...same....
And you articulated it differently, of course, since you are you, and I am me..yet it so freaking resonant, I can't even begin to explain. Thank you, Mahdi. Thank you, dear.
Maybe we do feel too much, esp. when we have such a hard time getting to what we are EXACTLY feeling. We are navel-gazers. We have had so much time to do that.
"but" - is the threshold to safe ground and compromise... everyone has something to add - but... will not take that "fucking stance" - I hear you... those people are all around.

Dear dear Mahdi. I am that little nut-sized heart shrinking in the corner. On some level. Always. I hear you. I hear you exactly.

This felt like the constant hustling we are forced to do!
Great piece. I laughed at the afterbut
