i’ve had a funny relationship with repetition over the years
i’ve decided to make a blogpost to point at re: repetition, so that I can repeat myself less, about repetition
we’ll see what goes in here.

it’s possible to have the same revelation repeatedly if you allow what is revealed to once again be concealed. why do people do this? because what is revealed is too bright, usually. blinding, overwhelming, too much truth, uncomfortable. implications too staggering. best put it back in the box, remind me later. if you journal enough over the years, you notice that your revelations start becoming reruns

i repeatedly find myself doing this lecture about being more strategic, thinking two steps ahead… i want my friends to be more effective, achieve their goals. and i want more cool friends, ha
i repeatedly quote victor wooten, kenny werner… i’d like to have better things to point at for those things. fanswitchboard, good reply game. put the gun down. don’t spend your precious life mocking those you perceive to be lesser than you
