1.) In short, I think my dreams lately have been my subconscious mind telling me that the paths not taken in my writing and work would have just ended up silly or wasteful and so I should not regret them. I'll note that they are not saying the same things about romantic paths untaken.

12.) Catholicism is riddled with Confirmation bias, of course.

13.) Might be spending a good chunk of August on the West Coast. Changes some things but might be interesting.

14.) Gigolos use pomade. I run the lemon cuticle cream to treat my horribly bitten nails through my hair like a GODDAMNED GENTLEMAN.

15.) I wonder how many ideas exist only because we had the root words to imagine it. The difference between "immortal" and "amortal" for example.

16.) We are all well-worn jigsaw puzzles and our nightmares are the banged-up missing pieces lost between sofa cushions.

17.) Hindsight isn't 20/20. The moments you thought you made the wrong choice, you can't actually know if that other path would've worked either.
