And so what if there was this instead -- and the new did not supplant the old, but sort-of moseyed in alongside

And it might then be that the threads between would show and I'd approach some articulation that would feel both truer to myself and could be better perceived by others, and then I would have something I could use to talk about all sorts of things

Tuesday 16th December forever failing to articulate myself in my life one way or another The context is always wrong or not compelling or it doesn't make sense Although I have never understood our mutually-agreed suppression of the right for context to Not make sense Anyway it's that forever-stuck feeling I have tried I have tried the usual ways and been found wanting Seizing the initiative feels very future-facing and I have a bad habit of looking dumbly backwards, That or sideways But most the time what I look upon is a rubbish-tip And the records I make are not written about widely so the problem of bad context gets worse So one day I thought to myself, Why not thread the context together yourself Not to be self-aggrandising or pedantic, but to simply set out your stall, come what may, as an outlet to help yourself So long as it's itself, it cannot not help And in so doing I hope the work is better served even if I lose sight of what exactly that is And in so doing I hope, as a result, of course, that it becomes a work itself Just so long as it's itself and not myself As "to articulate myself" can be easily misunderstood as "to articulate myself"
