Hey, Jed, I have 10 spare minutes now so I guess I will write about my list of things I hold on to:
Well, when I thought about it, I figured out that the list is so infinitely long, that it actally makes sense to thing the other way around - is there something that I actually don't cling to? Only thing I could find out was breathing - and frankly, I'm not even sure about that.
So, for the purpose of the list, here it is. To avoid writing half a page about my major life dramas, here are the things I clung to just today:
First, from the moment I opened my eyes in the morning - I clung to sleeping. That whole "Fuuck, what time is it, I have slept too much again, or I haven't slept enought..." or "I should have slept 30 mins more or 30 mins less..." That whole thing. Felt various amounts of guilt, shame, irritation and so on. To save this post going over 250 words, I will just list the other things in a list, without my thoughts about them, but they are not much far away from the sleep thing.
So since I woke up, of course, I clung to my breakfast.
-my whole breakfast
-then just a tiny slice of cheese
-then I clung the couple of songs that I listened...
-then I had some trouble in work, so I clung to some minor financial losses, and clung to things not going "my way" "again"
-then I clung to the nice autumn weather outside, so I felt bad for being inside and left to go for a walk.
-I was not sure if I want a coffee, so I clung into it just to be sure I'll have it. I didn't enjoy it much.
-I had a candy with my coffee, that I also clung to, and that kinda took the fun out of it too...
I mean... As I look around, I literally cannot find anything, that I'm not clinging to. Does that sounds right to you, or I got the point of the exercise wrong again?
edit: Or yea, I forgot...there isn't a point to the exercises. I'm probably just clinging to them...
