it’s all fiction anyway

back in august of 2006:

“I can totally see why Thoreau left everything. I don’t know what it is people search for when they leave their lives for something simpler, but it seems like, at least for me, a search for concrete truth. Not that I really understand what that means, either, though.

I realized that I need to start reading fiction again. I don’t have much of an imagination anymore, and despite what others might think, I’ve become rather cynical in general about things. There’s more, too, that needs to be said but I don’t ever know how to say things the way that I need to say them. At least not yet.”

haha wow.
