Blog Entry - 1. "The Tranquility of Transition, And The Dread of Destination."

"Destination means death to me. If I could figure out a way to remain forever in transition, in the disconnected and unfamiliar, I could remain in a state of perpetual freedom." -David Wojnarowicz.

To my friends and pitiful readers, I present to you the first entry of my newborn blog. I will not be sticking to any kind of schedule, or have any consistent topics. As a matter of fact, I doubt the amount of entries in this blog will ever even reach double digits. But I do not worry, I only fear this will just be a waste of time after all. 

Today, I will explore the quote at the very top, share my thoughts, and explain why I am very fond of it, and how it ties into my personal life. 

To understand this quote, we must understand what the author of this quote means by "Destination" and "Transition." 

The idea of "Destination" carries connotations of finality, of an end point that marks the cessation of exploration and growth. To embrace such a destination is, in a sense, to accept the confines of mortality and the limitations of the human condition. However, by eschewing fixed destinations and instead embracing a perpetual state of transition, one can evade the finality of death and the stagnation of complacency. 

To remain in transition, in a state of movement and change, represents a rejection of fixed destinations or conclusions. In this perpetual state of transition, one exists in the "disconnected and unfamiliar," continually encountering new experiences, perspectives, and challenges. It is in this liminal space that true freedom can be found - freedom from the constraints of societal expectations, from the tyranny of routine, and from the fear of death itself. 

This longing for perpetual transition reflects a deeper philosophical inquiry into the nature of existence and the human experience. It speaks to the desire for autonomy, for self-discovery, and for the relentless pursuit of meaning in a world fraught with uncertainty and impermanence. In embracing the journey over the destination, one finds liberation from the shackles of mortality and the constraints of the human condition, allowing for a life lived in perpetual freedom.

Now, having explained the true meaning of this quote (at least as how I interpret it), I hope you, my readers, will have an easier time understanding my pathetic rambling which will ensue from this moment.

I view my daily life, as a regular student in this generation, to be a cycle. A cycle of the aforementioned transition and destination. I feel myself that I only find true happiness when I am in a state of transition. Think of walking through halls, going to school, heading home, getting ready for work, etc. etc. When I am in this state, I feel free, away from dreadful schedules and, of course, destinations.

There's not much left for me to say, as I do not want to repeat myself, however I cannot stress enough how much I relate to this one quote, more than any I've ever read. To you, I might seem like a lunatic. To you, I might be exaggerating how great this quote is, especially if you're into deeper literature. However, I must say that I do not care for what your opinion on this particular matter is. I'm writing this blog as a way to express myself, and don't actually expect anyone to read it. Not fully, at least. But I am straying from the topic.

"Destination means death to me" is a statement I truly relate to. I never feel more dread and depression than when I arrive at a destination. And I imagine that, if you truly understand the concept of destination, you may feel the same. 

Oh, gentlemen, I've already grown tired of writing, and I've reached the limit of my vocabulary. I do not wish to embarrass myself, and as one of my friends said, this blog might even be too complicated for spacehey. I hope that, if you have read up to this point, I could've brought some kind of entertainment to you. That is all.

Until next time, if that time comes.
