Jean-Paul Sartre once said, "If you are lonely when you're alone, you are in bad company." This quote does not relate directly to what I am about to discuss but it does on some level and it is always useful to think about. Over the past few weeks I have been making myself out to be a terrible person. I have been viewing myself as a 20 year old, unemployed, single, student attending a city college who wants to work in the music industry but has no current connections with it all. I have also been obsessing over my slow but sure weight gain because of enduring no physical activity in 3 months. In the shower this morning I came up with an extremely simple idea that could be the solution to my self loathing. By the way, maybe this is just me but I always do my best thinking in the shower. It makes sense because there is nothing else that can distract you from your thoughts while bathing. It's basically a great form of meditation if you were to define it. Anyways, back to the self loathing. So this simple idea of mine was to create a list of every-day tasks and or goals. I came up with 6 items. I will suffocate myself with this list. I will put it on my door, on the refrigerator, on my desktop, in my car, etc. until I have established these items. I'm hopeful of this experiment and that by the end of it I will be in good company once again. Self love is the most important kind. So love yourself.
