Decisions

I keep hitting these decision points where i feel like my actions influence my future well being or past actions have influenced current well being/anything I feel is a problem. This can't be true can it? Why do i still feel this way? I should know better by now. I should stop having shoulds!! Inescapable fractal loop/paradox. Like a mirror placed in front of another mirror. If indeed I am only looking at myself, then why do I care? Why do I care that I got 2 faint "fit" tests (F.I. tests?) in a row. What if i have cancer and should do something? what if doing something is a mistake? If every move/or not move has consequences and i have no choice but to move/not move then wt ever loving F?!!! What is this ridiculous situation I keep finding myself in? Why do i care? I want a permanent flow state. But why cant i get what i want in a permananent fashion? I am told because there is no me to actually want. I have tried seeing everything os what i always wanted. But even that is temporary. Enlightenment seems temporary eveb though they say it isnt. Nobody is actually enlightened, we hear about in mythology or possibly hearsay but why has nobody actually succeeded for Real? What is going on. Why do I care? Caring for my well being is a massive unwinnable burden, yet i cant stop because that would alao be for my well being which is a game i cant win. Not physically, not psychologically. Yet i keep playing like a gambler in a casino with a gun to his head forcing him to play. That is my "current" life experience. Current is in quotes because even this notion is unstable nonsense. No control. Not even over accepting there is no control. Nothing sticks. Suffering. Ugh.

Doubt

Doubts and Fears continue. Or ka6be they are the same thing. If Vedanta (or any easteren religion i can think of for that matter) is true, then there is nothing to fear. It also means that everything that is going on, no matter what, is exactly what I always wanted. My mantra - everything going on is what i always wanted. Focus on myself/mantra - nothing else matters. Everything falls into plafeand I am scared to say it out loud because what if I am crazy/wrong? Oh well.

Insatiable Hunger

Hungry, always hungry. Well, between the hrs of whenever I start eating and like 4:30pm. I just want to eat all day long. Even if i lived off of the lowest calorie food like radishes or celery or something, it might be a challenge to stay under calories. Especially if I take macros into consideration. Resist. Indulge. Resist. Indulge. Resist. Indulge. The cycle continues.

so cold

I have a long way to go, or do i? Do i have equinimity yet? I fail when challenged, or do I? Am I amazing or am i deludinf myself? Doubts. Weird. It is so cold. Like i am in a frequent icebath but it is just the ambient temp. Win Hoff my way through it. Adapt. Why do i ztill get upset? I still have preferences. I dont like that.Paradox? Ugh. What?!

Is My Father an Askhole?

My father has only reached out to me when he wants something. Sometimes i feel like of he does ask about me it is put of social strategy to keep me from abandoning him. Who knows. Sometimes he asks me questions just to argue with the answer. Sometimes i may be on high alert/on guard when i may not need to be. Maybe I've watched too many Dr. Ramani videos. Maybe I haven't watched enough. Who knows. Last night he texted me about a computer he was thinking about buying. Assuming he would argue with anything i say that isnt exactly what he wanted to hear, i waited until the morning to answer. I am proud I didnt succumb to my usual "urgency" in needing to save/serve him. Was I overreacting? Who knows. I answered him honestly after Carefully selecting my words in the hopes that my response is as close to bulletproof as possible to avoid getting sucked into drama/debate. I said that I personally wouldnt buy that computer. He said ok he wont! He then asked for my help in selecting one. I mentioned that I personally (being careful not to tell him what to do) would play around at a physical store and pick one up that he liked brick-n-mortar style. I also mentioned that it would prob be a certain minimum price. Triple what he wants to spend but i dont want to get involved in the game of trying to get something for near nothint, a game he is addicted to and ends up spending more in the long run with a lot of stress to those around him. Like a gambler. I also mentioned that i have had luck with CDW and then picking it up in person. He said he doesnt want to spend that money. Then he asked what is CDW? Now I am annoyed because he could have just googled CDW. He is adept and searching when he wants to gather b.s. information to try to prove someone wrong (another game he is addicted to). I am ignoring the question. And am journaling instead. And now am plagued eith fears: what if he does now and this was our last convo? will i regret not responding? Maybe he is just trying to connect with me and has no other methodology? Or is he being an askhole? Who knows. Sad part is i will probably come up with some answer/respond -- and then regret my weakness for responding. Lose lose. Or should i just respond the obvious "it is a store" and sit in fear of the next question? Who knows. I want to respond, "I dont think i can find anything that i would recommend in your price criteria." Wimp. Hopefully I at least can wait til he asks again (he will probably move on to his next whim) and stop concerning myself over fear of regret. Fear. Insecurity. Self-seeking.

Impatience

Impatience! And rapidly switching attention. Daydreans of imaginary conversations. Fear. Not even 7am and I am already done with my day. Now what, just pace back and forth until the next thing? The next day? Ad infinitum? Chores.

Always Cold

It is is so cold all.the time. Cant get warm. Win Hoffing my breathing meditstion is all i can do. Breathe through it. Today a girl half my age or less didnt flirt with me at all. I did t really care i still left smiling. But am thinking about it now that i am fighting this godforsaken cold af temperature. Just breathe. My finger is getting swollen, frim the cold maybe. Not sure why i care. Youd think i would be more resilient by now.
