The Pyramid's Foundation
When all the walls you built collapse:
infinite freedom, clear and vast.
When all you thought you knew turns false,
insight glimmers through the loss.
-Phong
I'm holding on to positive words like these, to get me through this state of anomie. Because I'm at the bottom of my eternal cycling through the good and the bad - loneliness and aimlessness. I tore down my walls, but now they're collapsing further around me. It's scary, but I know it's not forever. And when I ride the current back up to the top, it will be ever more beautiful; a view less cluttered.

I read the post over about 4 or 5 times. I think the quote is amazing, but I'm somewhat confused as to what your own words entail. I'm not conceited enough to think that I have a part in this, but I sit here hoping what happened doesn't. You sat there and seemingly tried to help me more than yourself and now I sit here willing to do the same. You know how to reach me if you need anything.

Thank you. Your willingness to help means a lot to me.
I think I was just going through one of my usual low times - and don't say you don't remember those ;)
I was (and still am to a lesser degree) feeling a little lost over where I am right now - not knowing what I want or if I even want anything. Feeling a little lonely, that's for sure, with friends so very busy lately.
But I'm still on my feet, and I'm getting better day by day. It was a temporary low - a wake up call, a little slap in the face, a reality check - something to contrast with good times.
The quote is by Anson (i don't know if you remember me talking about him), one of shawn's friends. He has struck me as one of the most wise people I've encountered, really inspiring really. He's written some really really crazy and amazing stuff, posted on the pod collective.
Shit, I'm rambling.
Anyhow, thanks again for reaching out a helping figurative hand.
