Daily Artchosting day 8
art doesn't have to be drawings. Because I say so.
[might rewrite this in the future for future artsy purposes]
Observations from my ongoing situation
- I stay in my bed a lot
- I WALK a lot
- I avoid others, both online and in real life, I feel a need to isolate myself
- I ITCH I ITCH I ITCH I ITCH
- the only way I can get consistent relief is from a cold shower
- I feel like I'm scratching my skin right off
- there are stains on my mattress, I'm sleeping on it without a sheet because I can't dredge up the motivation to actually do laundry
- I spend most of my days turning my brain off, watching youtube
- I have strange visions, ominous dreams
- did my hands always look like that? My fingers are too long.
- my old friends seem alien to me now, they don't understand
- there are other things in the world I'm noticing now that I hadn't noticed before. Had that place always been so full of hate, or is that new?
- the ways people talk hurt me and worry me now, in ways they wouldn't have before
- my phone is falling apart in my hands, it refuses to cooperate with them
- was the internet and my computer always so full of eyes on me, desires for my attention, ads in my start menu, flesh in my inbox?
- I keep walking past odd alleyways or forest paths and feeling like I need to go down them. They beckon to me
- I keep hearing strange music when I walk at night
- I have suddenly started enjoying playing the flute a lot
- my sleep schedule is unusual, I am up until 6am and I wake at 1pm
- my clothes don't fit me anymore, and I crave colorful and sparkly ones instead
- I feel like a creature, I want to walk on the balls of my feet and chitter at things
- I no longer feel positive about making myself productive for the sake of humanity. I want to go climb a tree. The city feels unnatural to me now.
