-erudite ignorance.-
i have a weakness for notebooks, sketch books, papers or any pages that i see myself penning words/pictures that no one else reads.
it's quite a perverse obsession , since upon buying them, i never will bring myself to put a writer's thoughts and pen to it for the fear of prying eyes. of course, needless to say, the shame of staining the white pages of a otherwise pristine state of an alterego we are after.
i cant help but to think of this affliction , as signs of a violatile ,restless spirit that wavers so frequently between contrasting worlds and words , that soon tires one out into the night.
in every story, in every sentence , the writer attempts to celebrate his/her cloying parade of honeyed reminisces that are , really just , empty words. we want to make things that happened as if they never did, and things that didnt happen look as if they did - and it's there , we run endlessly in our circles , trying to make sense of who we were, what we are and what holds in the future.
as much as i hate to admit, this love for reading, writing feels like a poison ,feeding the realisations of an empty self in the empty world.
