homework #2

Yazmin, I have to say if reading your post my already slightly scatter-brain became even more scatter-brained if that’s possible. But that’s a good thing I promise!

As you know it also annoys me deep to my core when someone sings the same old song of "I know how you feel" been there done that, but many times I find myself trying to almost justify my feelings to others when I’m talking at them harping about whatever it is I need to harp about. Now, based on what you wrote I ask myself, why? Why do we all feel the need to justify our thoughts to someone else so maybe they can get an inkling as to what we feel? Next, I ask myself why do I care if they get it or not? Feelings are personal and now it doesn’t bother me one bit if no one gets it. I get it and that’s all that matters. I feel that you can agree to that.

Io add on to your thoughts about fading into your "own little world" which I can agree whole heartedly with might I add is that maybe having my "own little world" is like my mind telling me when it needs to submerse itself into my own world of "subjectivity"? A coping mechanism? Quite possibly, but I think when your heads in the clouds so to speak its up there for a reason.

"We can still be someplace but not really be "there". When that happens, I feel like that is when I'm most myself because I'm just in my own head."

You can only be yourself 100% of the time in your own head, anywhere else I think is not realistic. Not to say that, that leads to fakeness on the "outside world", just that sometimes thoughts get filtered and as a result not fully yours.

I truly wrote entirely too much I may have beat your "novel" ha-ha but your post made me think and I allowed my mind to wonder and now you have to read it so ha! :)

Great post and snaps for Yazmin!!


Corey, I completely agree with your thoughts about the aspect of being separate from the world at times as a slightly positive if not helpful thing. I myself find that taking time to myself to get away from everyone else is a very helpful way to relax and collect my thoughts.


I feel as though if you did not have this time to be a separate entity, than you would not be able to fully understand yourself let alone attempt to understand others. That’s not a very productive way to think. Free will i feel, is one of if not the most important thing to living, no matter how someone tries to shape you into something it is up to you and you alone to agree to it or not.


I too cannot say with first hand knowledge about drug-induced subjectivity, however I think when someone is tripping on acid for example I think they will not really be contemplating these matters they will be too wrapped up with seeing things such as “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds”… I think, I don’t know for sure…


I like your thoughts about fights with others and how whether you like it or not it can lead you to conclude things that may have not crossed your mind without your own ideals being questioned in the first place. I myself don’t like to admit when I’m wrong in a argument, and even I can admit when I am being challenged the way someone else thinks about things gives me a little more insight than I’d like to admit. Their views can be helpful to further my point about being the only one allowed to be right. (Note the sarcasm here ha-ha)


Anyways since I‘m starting to ramble here, I liked your thoughts keep up the good work! ….wow that was cliché…
