Basically the scribbles are probably as pure as it gets. For me anyhow. I mean, I’m not really into any of that… I do this to feel that, etc. It was just a means to an end, a way to keep my mind motoring amidst the OCD. But now? I love it. I mean, maybe I could make it work and make money but I don’t think that’s on me, plus I think it’s worth more to me as it is. Yeah it’s probably odd and wacky but, really, it’s not… because basically I’m just playing Tetris with words. Is that selling me short? I don’t know and I really don’t care to think about it. Is it selfish, to be that invested in this thing which hardly anybody reads anyway, including myself 😝 Nah, not one bit. It’s just what I needed to do to be good and it’s just… scribbles. No less, and WAY more to me on a personal level. And yeah, the backstory is.. holy shit kinds of crazy, and through no choice of mine, but I’ll continue to scribble away and… yeah, that’s it really. I don’t think anyone cares and that’s totally cool, I can’t see an ego thing with this, and if there is, then it’s just me to myself… trying to keep it as perfectly imperfect as I can. But yeah, it is automatic to an extent and it has opened my diction up to a strange level of… interpretation in terms of the twists and turns it takes. In so far as the words meaning something maybe sometimes “profound”? I don’t have a clue, if I got that deep with it I might end up freaking out and hanging my thoughts on it, but I sure as shit ain’t no philosopher… OBVIOUSLY 😆 In fact, I think ‘philosophers’ are really just wannabe writers who fell across a piece of stellar advice without even really thinking about it, and people in, let’s say, momentary dire-straits felt an utter need to utilise for themselves, to bring their mind back to calm, however that works for each person, I guess. And that really is great, just that I kinda can’t work with such a thing as the OCD kiiinda trumps all of that thinking. So, the scribbles, to me at least, may as well be… a game of shooting darts at the biggest literary dartboard imaginable and just leaving it there and moving on to the next experience that will suddenly start a new, ahem, poem-piece 😊 🤷♂️
