3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
A common problem we often have with people is to know what they're thinking. I present no such problem - everything I'm thinking gets written in this section! Anyone genuinely interested in me only needs to read it to know exactly what's going on in my life. As such I find it excellent cheap therapy and recommend everyone to do the same, though not necessarily as openly - perhaps by publishing anonymously. 

And yet it is also a form of "hiding in plain sight" - most people are only interested in themselves and celebrities, so don't bother reading this bit. But my purpose isn't just simply to sound off - it will remain behind after I've gone as an honest record of one person interacting with life and as such may inspire and help somebody.

This week I have been heavily distracted by my fetishes, in the main because I have found new sources of material. However I have kinda burned myself out on it now, so I have regained some focus. I don't have any regrets because life is to be experienced and no harm was done, so I return to my central objectives refreshed and with a smile on my face!

4. TODAY'S QUESTION FOR YOU

8. TRIVIA
Shakespeare's King Lear survives in two copies. The quarto edition includes 300 lines and a whole scene that do not appear in the First Folio. The two versions give important speeches to different characters, altering the nature of three key characters. The endings are also significantly different. 

9. ZEN WISDOM   
All the struggles you endure are a prized investment in your own person.
