Deconstructed Advice and Encouragement

I think most people can relate to this, I know that in my darkest moments of self-doubt and cynicism, I replay these same words to myself in my mind, in very much the same monotone of this reading. When other peoples say these same generic phrases to me over and over when I express my fears and crises, it all starts to sound the same as this reader/author. I enjoyed the stream of consciousness style although it was a little too dark for me to enjoy the dark humor.

I really like your style; it sounds like the monologue that goes on in my head when I try to give myself a pep talk.

“Try to put it into perspective...take the time to focus on yourself…get your shit together."

I really enjoyed listening to Deconstructed Advice and Encouragement. I look forward to hearing more.

Think about it. You made me, and now I am not sure what I am going to ever tell anyone again in times of distress. Your listening & take on these various forms of encouragement give them all an equally hollow, superficial, and meaningless effect on you. Well done, great piece of work.

I really like the positive attitude, maybe you should write a series of self-help posts. That's some amazingly insightful advice, it's funny how it's equally generic. Why do people always want to encourage you to keep on going, they never really want to be responsible for being the last one you spoke to before you offed yourself. Why do people expect anything of anyone. I do often think I'm glad I'm not homeless.

I was on the dreaded last 45 minutes of the drive north on 101, wanting nothing more than to finally get back into the City from SoCal.

This essay brightened a foggy grumpy night. An uncanny cynical-comedic style that doesn't venture off the deep end ala George Carlin or Denis Leary. It's more subtle (and more intelligent) than that. Really funny and ingenious stuff.

Violent and extreme exercise of consciousness, universal statements twisted with contradictions, a naked and upfront soul to soul dialog, irrationally and unbearably rational. I loved it. Thanks.
