I have succumb to an upset that does not show any signs of yielding; in a moment of weakness, I fear it has overtaken me and may persist for a little while. From constant harsh criticism of me doing things I find fun, to argumentative instances, these past few weeks have drug me down into a pit. I can claw all I wish, but as of yet, I have found nothing but sand to grip at, and more coming down on top of me. I intend to stay persistent, and fight my way out of this hole, but for now, I am there.
I would like to put the blame here and there, but doing so will only earn me more metaphysical lashes. While I recuperate, I'm going to attempt to withdraw to my coolly contained side of logic and reason, not shunning all emotions, but only holding against my negative ones. I have experienced this once before, many years ago, and doing just this has helped, but back then, I did not have a second heart I hold with me...
The human mind is a curious thing, and it is just as imperfect as we are. My imperfect mind has fallen short, in this case, and my capacity for elation has slipped beneath what is sufficient for me to remain as I was. Vices such as anger and sadness are coming forth more often, in my purely grey state, but now I intend to make that grey absolutely translucent, and withdraw to a portion of myself to remedy the feeling. Of course, my friends will have significant impact on this effort, and especially so shall my mate. I shall attempt to isolate myself from strife, in all cases. But when you live in a home in which the proprietors of your domicile are constantly at the throats of one another, and ready to take yours as a trophy the minute you are not this way or that, it can prove more difficult.
But overall, I am bleak and empty at this point, and I shall likely come off as more mechanical at this point. In time, I shall recover, but for now, I must strategize and allow this to burn itself out. I refuse to be overcome entirely by this foul sensation. This tactical retreat is well past due. I am sorry to all this may affect.
