Mr. Tales- The art of duel wielding


Dear Friend,

            It’s great to hear from you!  I’m happy to see the optimism you are approaching the new semester with.  I wish you the best on all fronts, in growth, in math, but especially in happiness. 
             As for me, I’m afraid this is the least excited I’ve been about any given school semester.  I am unsure of the causation for my lack of enthusiasm that is normally associated with clean slates and new beginnings.  I am undergoing a period of low energy level.  Oh well, I guess it will save me future adjustments and what not. 
            I’m glad to hear that I still grace your mind, even if only momentary.  It warms my heart to know that I can occupy even a fragment of another person’s thoughts.  Yes, as much of a surprise as it is a blessing.  For the perception of myself to manifest, to have sustained a home in a neighboring land, one I’m sure is both delicate and rich in beauty. 
            Thought is the basis of my existence, in my deep isolated life it is all I have sometimes.  It is strange; that any man would deter himself from that in which drives him.  I guess one option is to fake enlightenment, to convince myself of validity that is obviously absent.  At times I feel psychology is no different than philosophy, in that they are both vessels for us to harness understanding that we wish to be true.  How can we trust those outside the confinement of our own psyche?  I know for me that it is probably an impossibility.
            Lately I have been writing only for hobby without pressure of profession, a novella for and including my friends, involving the undead.  It has lent itself as a reminder of why I love writing in the first place, and an immediate audience has proved pleasant as well.  I am thinking about taking the semester off from any serious writing in favor of academics.  It is very unlike me to put the mundane and the seemingly meaningless in front of my dreams; it has me feeling not quite myself.  Regardless I am attempting to give it a legitimate shot. 
            I must know how you tackle the task of balancing both study and writing.

Sincerely,
Tales
