i’m not sure of all the negative human feelings whether disappointment isn’t perhaps the worst one

when things don’t live up to your expectations

 photo IMG_2667_zps6347ef8b.jpg
when you realize things are not as good as you thought, people not as wonderful, the future not as exciting

 photo IMG_2669_zps0bac82b9.jpg
when you lose hope and it leaks out until you feel fully deflated

 photo IMG_2668_zps9f1997a4.jpg
i feel like an empty balloon at the moment

 photo IMG_2670_zps80b29e67.jpg
probably not the best time to post a blog but i felt so guilty having all these great images just sitting in private on my desktop

i also don’t want to let on that i am completely pancaked with disappointment because i don’t want to seem weak

 photo IMG_2677_zps05477baf.jpg
this disappointment does not have any element of revenge, it is not a disappointment that wants attention or pity
it is one that just wants to be left alone

 photo IMG_2682_zps45bd8974.jpg
also i don’t like giving the sense that i am at all disappointed in anything going on at the gallery because that is all so great and positive and happy making especially with our two new shows that opened

 photo IMG_2683_zpsdc5630d0.jpg
i guess it just wants the people who have let me down to just… ARGH!

 photo IMG_2688_zpsc5e0b86a.jpg
it’s a fine line with expectations. you have to live with hopes, but if your hopes are unrealistic you will always be disappointed

therapists cost money but blogging is free, right?

 photo IMG_2772_zpsf01fc04a.jpg
i wish the blog was an oracle and i could feed it images and text of what is happening and it would tell me what was up

 photo IMG_2792_zpsa59b1219.jpg
or call bullshit on me

 photo IMG_2797_zps91cec2a0.jpg
sigh i never get to actually reveal anything personal
but i do get to type it and then feel better and then delete it i guess!

it’s impossible to have no feelings no needs no expectations no attachments, it’s a fantasy world

look at the universe that is joe’s eye, and then just think of the neurochemical universe behind it! the unknowability of the other!

i am so low drama, it takes a lot for me to get angry, i am not a gossip, i go very far out of my way to avoid confrontation or problems, i am miserable unless everyone is happy and getting along, if someone is mad at me i ruminate about it and can’t sleep and do everything possible to smooth the situation over.

joe insists he just “takes life as it comes” with no expectation from others but how long can you interact with someone before some sort of expectation is created, not from promises just from actions?

[[REDACTED]] there is something immoral to all relationships it seems, any time you demean yourself to approach someone else, humiliate yourself for them, insult them by liking, ask for someone else’s anything, need else to be happy, to thrive, to not hate the world, immoral to intrude upon them with your affection [[REDACTED]]

i can’t find anything to drink in this stupid gallery

“disappointed in love”
i like that expression, misreading it so that love as a cultural construct is really what has let you down, its promises empty, its hollowness sounded

 photo IMG_3055_zps26b272ad.jpg
i like misreading it as being both disappointed and in love and those two feelings coexisting simultaneously, cuz aren’t they opposites?

 photo IMG_3057_zps69500752.jpg
i love that when someone hurts you that your chest hurts, thank goodness, i mean, at least you aren’t crazy

 photo IMG_3058_zps8ee6aa18.jpg
i should stop typing cuz im just gonna delete it anyway

 photo IMG_3059_zps7c9aa8f1.jpg
i don’t have anything too insightful to say about this show tho
war of course being one of the lamest metaphors for love

[[REDACTED]] what is that quote about lost regard and it’s un-re-achieve-ability?
