still lost in the doldrums
I miss studying philosophy. Was law school a mistake? I don’t know. I enjoy the challenge of the substantive material; I do not enjoy the paper pushing, busywork, ‘professional development skills’, the bureaucracy, the arbitrariness, the obsession with landing the highest paying internship.
I’ve made plenty of new friends in Austin.
I miss my old friends.
But even when I...

Why did I choose this? I guess it was the best of a bunch of bad options.
If this is the best of the bunch, I shudder to think about the alternatives.

I’m such a goddamn cliche, and not even a fun one at that.
I fear that I am becoming a bit of a parody of myself.
And a boring one.
Tired, headache, worried, apathetic, angry, bored, hate legal writing, anxious, confused, this is pointless, existential crisis, this is my life, fuck.
At least I have a cat.
I reallllly don’t know what I am.
I’m an outlier. I realized that long ago, but I might as well put it in print now. Outlier. Apart. Different. Odd. Not one of them. Not one of us. Who’s he?
Why did you set me apart?

I would kill for an ambien right about now.
Too anxious/tired/stressed/sad to sleep. I’m moving to Austin. I’ve moved to Austin? I have two apartments, one in Denton, one in Austin. I should be in Austin. I’m in Denton. I don’t know why I am in Denton. I’m moving to Austin to go to law school at the University of Texas and I don’t know why I’m moving to Austin to go to law school
