A relationship in a week

I never understood why people got into relationships and broke up after a week until it happened to me.
I dated a mut. He was Irish and Mexican (I know the polarity right?). He was just as bipolar as his identity. Haha! I met him at a Mexican restaurant in the Bronx (Go figure. I thought I had found the one. How foolish I was. Eventually, I realized that this person had some serious unresolved issues. He was very attractive and intelligent yet equally as crazy, aggressive, abrasive, sarcastic (I hated his sarcasm), needy,  clingy, annoying, and the worse pathological lier you'll probably ever meet. But its all a learning lesson right? I had to let him go. My spirit was in dis-ease. Every time I was around him we would argue and I would feel depressed. That is when I realized that I loved myself too much to put myself through that especially with someone ive only knew for 3 weeks. Hence, my body would not allow itself to be attracted to him. Some kind of mental blockage right? its amazing how the mind, body and soul work in conjunction with eachother. Asset over liability next time V! Never fall for the superficial...

Ephemeral Creation


            Albert Camus uses The Myth of Sisyphus as a didactic elucidation, offering guidance into the world of absurdity. He titles one of his excerpts “Ephemeral Creation,” which appears on page113. Ephemeral Creation, meaning a transitory creation not expected to exist for a long time, opens with the notion that hope is inevitable, ubiquitous, and eternal. Most creators embody this very essence of optimism conscious that their work will not persevere. However, they continue to exert the necessary amount effort to completing that work of art. It is a result of faith or passion as one would have with Christianity. The contradiction between heretics and religion ironically has had a more effective benefit to orthodox dogma. This equation is relatively similar to the absurd. Thus the civilization depends on rebellion and deviance in order to set its moral restraints. In addition, Art is germane to understanding a great work. Artists or absurd intellects tend to propagate something that did not exist before despite their realization that it might be insignificant in the future. They use their art as an instrument for expressing their comprehension of the world which does not offer any answers. An author’s ingenious creation is subject to mutability because it is solely based on one person’s perspective of life. An author’s work defines them. His proliferation of works either complements or contradict one another all adding to the author’s reputation. The only thing that will impede creation is the death of the creator. It is possible that the success of an innovation is due to others who share similar assumptions. Other works may lack the same ingenuity or may not be as lucid. Creations acquire most of its meaning after the creator’s death; however, they are nothing more than failures because they enclose the mystery of its very nature. Inventions are the most insightful and indicative evidence of human desire to explain humanity. Mankind are bestowed the gift to cogitate, speculate, evaluate, contrive, dissent, and make sense of their reality. They are allotted the genuine gift of challenging and exploring truths. These are the principles of the absurd. On the contrary, truths cannot be proven, merely with thought. Innovators are rebellious philosophers who seek clarity through their works. Artists endeavor to prove something that only they can apprehend. Moreover, creators are accountable for rendering their works absurd because they are incapable of being the superhuman that is required to conceive the world.

 Diversity gives birth to art. Art in return gives voice to life.  The creator is aware of the responsibility that is required in a creation. Therefore, his diligence exemplifies his will to control his fate. The final step an author must take is to be able to relinquish their promises and attempts. They have to be able to face the cognizance that his work will be unsuccessful and inadequate. They must acknowledge that the only outcome to look forward to and that is the cessation of their life. Freedom grants man the sole opportunity to explain the world. Irrational stories that attempt to explain the world only enhances the illusion. It moves man farther from reality. That is why creators must take a on a very arduous task, creating something that will not last.
