To my beloved self: treat yourself to the highest standards. Respect yourself and how you define your own respect. Treat yourself with knowledge because ignorance will be taken advantage of. Always remember that the ego you carry on your shoulders at times isn't because you lack your self-worth or confidence, it's merely the balance which you use to reflect on. When you know yourself truly, it is when you stop finding validations in others.
#Bukowski had it, as did #Kafka & #Woolf, & they were kind enough to pass it along to me. And if Kafka & Woolf ever had a bastard child...
I write. I author. I wonder: Am I a #Writer ? Am I an #Author ? I wander, and as I wander I wonder and I ponder. Therefore, indeed, I am a wondering, pondering wanderer. I know that I am full of wonder and that I write of my wonders. Perhaps, then, I am a wonderful writer?
I will write & speak what I find & learn, or write or speak OF what I learn & believe when I have found cause to believe it. And you are free to engage me in discussion &/or debate, to agree or refute or simply to ignore & be off, go away.
I choose my battles with greatest care these days, having no time to waste & no tolerance of/for intentional ignorance. I'm neither pompous nor arrogant, nor am I wasteful of time, energy... LIFE.
Let's be good acquaintances if we can't be good friends. Other-wise, let's never have met in the first place.
