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.
