Working on new sites, its fun to build these things. It can be difficult to find motivation, reasons to get things done, at least without significant force. These little things, and D, are all that really keep me motivated. We go on day to day, with our surroundings ever changing, new tech comes and goes, so do people. This leaves us, eventually, with only us. Even more irrationally, through socialization, we learn to conform the us, our ego, to fit whom ever it is we look up too. Teachers were common, and molding easy turn of the 20th century with few communication aids as we see today. Wise, insightful, and a pillars of the community, teachers were always to make the obvious choice in the absence of high speed messaging. Now, in the days dopamine aberration, we look to those who find structure in themselves, more so when the ego, the us, can relate to the ethos, the them. No longer are we bound to the ides of the community, at least not to the same degree. Each of us, in a cage of our own doing, barred from socialization by the impossibly high standards we have built for ourselves, unmaintained by community. Held together by pretty colors and radical takes.
