mindtricks.
have you ever found yourself in the position where your mind is beginning to just misinterpret things that are happening around you? where you mind is just changing what is to what you want?
the only thing between you and this fantasy is your brain; and the battle between your heart and your mind. as the brain continues to battle it out, more misinterpretations ensue. and the battle slows you down, makes you grow weary.
it’s an advance.
but in the wrong direction. so wrong, in fact, that it isn’t even a retreat.
the disambiguation, ambiguity, discombobulation, emotions running high, miscalculation, overestimation and underestimation. the heartbreak and the heartache. this push, this pull. the elasticity of the situation cannot continue infinitely.
i believed it was a positive feedback loop: input of “time” somehow allowed the output of more “time”. two black bodies absorbing as much as possible is not good input matter, nor is “excuses”.
yet, because it was an double input, single output loop: something breaks. something gave. and i tell you this.
this loop is actually a system. there is a limit to the wrap, there is a limit to input and output. and the system collapsed when there was not enough input. yet, there was another moment that came thru.
vulnerable, they care not, but the moments.
just moments.

When things in your life seem, almost too much to handle,
When 24 Hours in a day is not enough,
Remember the mayonnaise jar and 2 cups of coffee.
A professor stood before his philosophy class
and had some items in front of him.
When the class began, wordlessly,
He picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar
And proceeded to fill it with golf balls.
He then asked the students, if the jar was full.
They agreed that it was.
The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured
them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly.
The pebbles rolled into the open Areas between the golf balls.
He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar.
Of course, the sand filled up everything else.
He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous ‘yes.’
The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively
filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.
‘Now,’ said the professor, as the laughter subsided,
‘I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life.
The golf balls are the important things - family,
children, health, Friends, and Favorite passions –
Things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, Your life would still be full.
The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, house, and car.
The sand is everything else —The small stuff.
‘If you put the sand into the jar first,’ He continued,
there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls.
The same goes for life.
If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff,
You will never have room for the things that are important to you.
So…
Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.
Play With your children.
Take time to get medical checkups.
Take your partner out to dinner.
There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal.
‘Take care of the golf balls first —
The things that really matter.
Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented.
The professor smiled
‘I’m glad you asked’.
It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem,
There’s always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend.’

loop.
a positive feedback loop is defined as a system that continually allows the other to increase, and essentially, continue the system.
now, when this cycle is not added to, it will continue to self-perpetuate. sometimes, this is good; other times, this is not good.
the two weren’t a good feedback system.
one enabling the other.
but it came to a close.
finally.
if two parts of a positive feedback loop are taken apart, the two pieces should be left apart. should the two parts be put back together, momentous movement should ensue.
so, the pieces should stay far apart.
because both pieces should work, not just be part of a system.
