So I recently changed my pronouns to undecided. It feels more honest the way things have been in my head as of late.
Still no clue what the answer is. Would it be weird to not try and actively resolve it and just let things percolate a bit?
This isn't weird at all, that kind of stuff can take time and you should just move at your own pace.
Thanks for the advice. It honestly feels nice to just “not know” for a bit. It’s like a buffer zone or something.
i get that, some things need time to sink in, and some just sort themselves out slowly.
"Negative capability do be pretty poggers"
- John Keats, 1817
I had not a dispute but a disquisition with Dilke, upon various subjects; several things dove-tailed in my mind, and at once it struck me what quality went to form a Man of Achievement, especially in Literature, and which Shakespeare possessed so enormously—I mean Negative Capability, that is, when a man is capable of being in uncertainties, mysteries, doubts, without any irritable reaching after fact and reason— Coleridge, for instance, would let go by a fine isolated verisimilitude caught from the Penetralium of mystery, from being incapable of remaining content with half-knowledge. This pursued through volumes would perhaps take us no further than this, that with a great poet the sense of Beauty overcomes every other consideration, or rather obliterates all consideration.
I think I might need to read old poets more, that excerpt slapped and it was just from a letter.
I will now aim to find a legitimate use for the term penetralium in everyday parlance
