this was going to be about bartleby's soul (then it turned out to be about mine)

... and maybe mine, too?
so i was reading in a book today that when you are alone, you are surrounded by your:
body
ambitions
ideas
passions
needs
memories
goals
prejudices
distractions
fears.

i thought about how heavy a weight i attach to the last two items of that list, and i thought i'd list out what constitutes my current distractions and fears.
when it's on paper (but what if i mess and make something horrible?) it suddenly doesn't feel so valid anymore (then try again, duh).

it is so true. i think i'm going to make a list, too--i need to do that and another list like your friend-based philosophies.
