not a big revelation here but job hunting fits into childhood messages
* regardless of anything saying you're valued for yourself, you're not SUPPOSED to do something that interests you, your existence hinges on not just DOING but preferably LOVING this uninteresting other thing
* which also doesn't actually benefit you, because it's already been decided who the good/valued/safe people are
* the only emotional alternative to you're good at this is you suck at this, you're a failure in general
mh + maybe? Just hit something huge
I was feeling sad, and in sadness there's nothing to DO other than feel that way. For the past few months I've felt that I'm legitimately grieving all sorts of things, like five stages of grief, but if so what's acceptance look like? And I'd been thinking it was some Buddha like gentle peace with loss, but it isn't; it's SADNESS!
You can't feel sad if you're trying to anticipate the next attack, so frustrated you want to smash security cameras and Tesla windows, trying to make yourself shower and get outside, or thinking maybe just maybe Dems will manage to do the right thing and create safety, or whatever. Acceptance is SADNESS.
Oh yes the Human League. But now it’s time to take the mood down a little.

OH THE BLACKSMITH COURTED ME
NINE MONTHS AND BETTER
HE FAIRLY WON MY HAND WROTE ME A LETTER
WITH HIS HAMMER IN HIS HAND
HE LOOKED SO CLEVER
AND IF I WERE WITH MY LOVE
I'D LIVE FOREVER
OH WHERE HAS MY LOVE GONE, WITH HIS CHEEKS LIKE ROSES?
HE'S GONE ACROSS THE SEA
GATHERING PRIMROSES
I'M AFRAID THE SHINING SUN
WOULD BURN AND SCORCH HIS BEAUTY
AND IF I WERE WITH MY LOVE, I WOULD DO MY DUTY
