I decided to write a poem today. It's a little more darker than I wanted it to be but it's what I need to summarize for myself at least.

The uplifting greens of the ground, the yellow burning light in the sky, the silence being broken by random chatter.

All these things I see are making people happy.

But I end up asking why?

The sound of silence is killing me but when there is sound, I want it to stop.

And when there is silence, all I hear is the voices in my head.

Telling me to drop into a sink of dread.

The first time I dropped. I leaked as I shrieked.

Pain filled my body as I screamed but clearly, no-one heard me.

As time went on, everything around me became tranquil. Not even the loudest of sounds got my attention. And as I fell again...

I leaked but I didn’t scream. I merely waited for what felt like an eternity as all I heard was the drums growing louder.

I thought I was numb. Stripped of emotion.
But as soon as the moment passed, I shrieked without thinking and eventually I bled out.

Yet somehow, I was awake.
I didn’t want to be conscious.
I wanted to reach the other side.

I yelled as loud as I could as tears left me. Inside me, all I felt was pain and suffocation. Festering more and more.

Eventually though, the drums stopped. As a voice reached me and while no-one heard it.
I understood it. And after that moment,

Sound came back to me.

The voices stopped.

And as I breathed in the fresh morning air

I smelled the tasteless yet wonderful smell.
A smirk crept on my face yet I enjoyed the feeling.
Everything that hurt me went away.
I finally found peace.

And now, everything just feels a little better.

Sorry for not posting some laws, I've been getting fairly lazy.

I'm going to continue tomorrow but I guess right now, I just want to process to myself since right now, I kind of just miss my ex. It's weird, they clearly hate me now and tried to get reactions out of me but it's like I miss the relationship. I don't know how to explain it.
It's not important anymore to think about and it's definitely something I have to let go, but I just can't fully move on. I don't know.

Law 5:

So much depends on reputation... Guard it with your Life

"Reputation is the cornerstone of power. Through reputation alone you can intimidate and win; once it slips, however, you are vulnerable, and will be attacked by all sides. Make your reputation unassailable. Always be alert to potential attacks and thwart them before they happen. Meanwhile, learn to destroy your enemies by opening holes in their own reputations. Then stand aside and let public opinion hang them" (Greene 37).

Law 4:

Always say less than necessary

When you are trying to impress people with words, the more you say, the more common you appear, and the less in control. Even if you are saying something banal, it will seem original if you make it vague, open-ended, and sphinxlike. Powerful people impress and intimidate by saying less. The more you say, the more likely you are to say something foolish" (Greene 31).

Law 3:
Conceal your Intentions

"Keep people off-balance and in the dark by never revealing the purpose behind your actions. If they have no clue what you are up to, they cannot prepare a defense. Guide them far enough down the wrong path, envelop them in enough smoke, and by the time they realize your intentions, it will be too late" (Greene 16).

Law 2:
Never put too much trust into Friends, learn how to use enemies

"Be wary of friends... they will betray you more quickly, for they are easily aroused to envy. They also become spoiled and tyrannical. But hire a former enemy and he will be more loyal than a friend, because he has more to prove. In fact, you have more to fear from friends than from enemies. If you have no enemies, find a way to make them" (Greene 8).

Law 1:
Never outshine the Master

"Always make those above you feel comfortably superior. In your desire to please and impress them, do not go too far in displaying your talents or you might accomplish the opposite... inspire fear and insecurity. Make sure your masters appear more brilliant than they are and you will attain the heights of power" (Greene 1).

Beginning tomorrow, I will start posting one law from the 48 Laws of Power each day.
Why? I don't know. Maybe so I can remind myself to fully read it.

Be careful of burnout, don't work on your project or feel like you have to work on your project every time you have free time.

You can try to avoid burnout by first defining a productive day, e.g., 3 hours of work on your biggest project and complete 3 smaller tasks that don't take super long (maybe less than 30 mins, it's up to you). By first figuring out what is a reasonable amount of work for yourself on any given day, you can dedicate that amount of time to it each day, whether it just be in thinking about it or writing something down. Then, once you complete the chosen allotted time dedicated for your project, you can do other things without feeling a baseless guilt. :)

That way, you get something done every day, no matter how large or little, but you don't feel like you have to use all your energy all the time on it. Otherwise burnout will find you all too soon (definitely not talking from experience *nervous laugh*)
