"I guess I’m making a collection of passages to prove a point—a few points:
1. As obvious as it sounds, feelings ARE temporary
2. Emotions can be progressive, or they can be disordered (but still lawful)
3. Truth doesn’t mean facts

I’m going to emphasize.

Truth.
Doesn’t.
Mean.
Facts.

I’ve chronologically organized all of my conference transcripts (pondering with myself) by dates, following a span of approximately a year. As flinch-inducing or exaggerative my words might be, I suppose it’s all valid due to the notion that’s driven me to revisit these “flinch-inducing” or “exaggerated” moments. So go ahead and eat some trail mix, write a book, or criticize what I’ve written with me—I can’t tell you what to do."
