Luck will have me back soon.

I'm not worried.

Most of the time, I make it up as I go along
Anything can happen, so be ready for anything
You have to think quick, or think simply
You can’t be afraid, and most of all,
most importantly,
you have to embrace the fact that no matter
how many times you come to some kind of
sense about -
a n y t h i n g
it will inevitably completely change
moments later.

This is why I make it up as I go along,
Some people think this approach is irresponsible
Too chaotic, too destructive, too irrational
But really,
I’m just a product of the universe,
like you and you and you and you,
living by the universe’s example.
Which is just doing any old damn thing
For kicks, not logic.

“Today as usual I over-analysed, over-wondered, over-daydreamed the ridiculous nature and temperament of life and tried to understand the way of things. It’s a coping mechanism, a system in place, if you make, or structure some sense into the world, you become slightly more prepared (accuracy of this claim is unclear) for anything and everything. But as I sat on the train behind sunglasses and under a beanie watching the outer suburbs of Melbourne flash by, I realised something.

 I realised I am waiting for an impossible moment.

Impossible for obvious reasons implied by the word ‘impossible’ and also because, I have no idea what it is, so if it happens, I probably won’t know.” - Leroy.

…and it was sometime in the fall, before her 23rd birthday, that her heart, her small and weary core, neglected now for years, vanished a little, from the center out, took on the strange and hollowed heaviness of a weakly inflated balloon.

This wasn’t sadness—there were no feelings of desperation or disaster; nothing like depression with its one slowed-down realization of having been badly and untraceably misunderstood—but rather a plain, artless form of loneliness; something uninteresting, factual, and teachable, perhaps, to children or adults, with flashcards of household items (toothbrush, pillow), coloring books of fleeting, unaccompanied things (hailstones that melt midair; puddles formed and unseen and gone; illusions of friends in the periphery), and a few real-world assignments (post-nap trip to the pet store in the early, breezy evening; Halloween night asleep on the sofa; Saturday night dinner in the parking lot, looking through the windshield at the pizza buffet restaurant you just got take-out from).

Emotion reversed in left-handers' brains

sciencenote:

“We predicted this hemispheric reversal because we observed that people tend to use different hands to perform approach- and avoidance-related actions,” says Casasanto. Approach actions are often performed with the dominant hand, and avoidance actions with the non-dominant hand.

“Approach motivation is computed by the hemisphere that controls the right hand in right-handers, and by the hemisphere that controls the left hand in left-handers,” says Casasanto. “We don’t think this is a coincidence. Neural circuits for motivation may be functionally related to circuits that control hand actions — emotion may be built upon neural circuits for action, in evolutionary or developmental time.”

Implications for the treatment of depression and anxiety disorders

…..” The discovery that approach motivation reverses with handedness may lead to safer, more effective neural therapies for left-handers, according to Brookshire, “it’s something we’re investigating now.”

Does this explain why I always find beers in my left hand?
