MRZA's Journal

In the Brain

This is my take on a very popular journal template. For a while now, I've wanted to be able to jot down whatever thoughts I have without judgement or embarassment from people I know IRL. It has always felt corny, but I find myself browsing more and more of people deciding to write the same way. It seems like it does some users good to upload their thoughts. I almost wonder if this is the outlet I need to be able to cope with destructive, intrusive, obesessive, and downright stupid thoughts.Nobody knows who this is, what it's for, or any of these thoughts.

I'm a very quiet and observant person. I never have a need to announce my misfortunes or good news to anyone. Honestly, I doubt people care anyways. I may have social media accounts, but at this point they are simply for lurking. Here is where the good, the bad, and the ugly will go; in my quest to become a decent human.

Taking the "What's on your mind?" literally.

We Be Feelin

I'm finding out about myself more and more internally, and that I have unprocessed feelings about a lot of things. Things mostly pertaining to the concept of nostalgia and change. I have a hard time with that. If I could go back in time, I absolutely would. The question is to find out why I feel 2004 was somehow better than the years to come.

"But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing pleasure and praising pain was born and I will give you a complete account of the system, and expound the actual teachings of the great explorer of the truth, the master-builder of human happiness. No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally encounter consequences that are extremely painful. Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain, but because occasionally circumstances occur in which toil and pain can procure him some great pleasure. To take a trivial example, which of us ever undertakes laborious physical exercise, except to obtain some advantage from it? But who has any right to find fault with a man who chooses to enjoy a pleasure that has no annoying consequences, or one who avoids a pain that produces no resultant pleasure?"
