Here you will find a record of everything I’ve ever thought or experienced.
So sit back and stay a while. Look around. And have some fun.
Brady and Tim are masters of the dance between humour and earnestness. It’s an inspiration to me.
How do you eliminate the filler sound“like” from your speech? I seem to be using it once every ten seconds. 📉
More “heteropessimism” commentary
I can’t decide what I want from life. I assumed I would have “things figured out” by now. But each year lost ends with me just as clueless. Perhaps it’s nothing more than perception, but it feels like a lot of people are without this problem. Maybe they’ve accepted some destination and are living the journey towards it. Maybe they are okay with all the casualties and backtracking involved in careless wandering.
I’m so lost right now. I don’t think I’ll ever decide. Deciding would feel like forsaking myself to either unhappiness or disappointment. The idea of deciding is deeply unrelatable. I might have to be a fundamentally different person to do the things that most people are expected to do.
And I guess it’s possible to fundamentally change. But the way I am feels pretty set.

I first heard of the marshmallow test when I was in elementary school and I was very confident at the time that I would have waited for the second one.
But now I realize that that was just cause I was such a rule follower. A single marshmallow is not worth waiting FIFTEEN MINUTES for.
Apparently the commentariat’s new word is “heteropessimism.” It’s a pretty cool word. I think I’m going to start saying things like “I’m feeling heteropessimistic about that”, “my heart says yes but my heteropessimism says no”, “well hello Mr. heteropessimist!”, “heteropessimistically speaking…”, etc.
There should be a word for those interactions where you ask “have you heard about… ?“ and then respond to their shock with a giggle and nod and say “I know its so bad!” And giggle again and say “everything is so fucked.” And then you look at the ground and shake your head and wonder what was so funny about the crime you just described.
