this // that

i am overreacting // i am uncovering the truth

i love making art // i love when people see me making art

i am a mess // i am complex

this is a waste of time // if i were doing something else, i would say the same thing

travel allows people of different cultures to interact with and learn from each other // travel is culturally destructive

i want to experience everything // i want to not exist

if they could see me behind closed doors they would realize i'm lazy and not very interesting // if they could see inside my head they would realize how much i have to offer

i am beautiful // i am bloated

life is meaningless so why should i do anything // life is meaningless so why shouldn't i do everything

i have free will // no, i don't

i'm a good writer // i can't write anything worth reading

i want to help people // we're all going to die, what's the point

life is tedious // life is an adventure

there is so much time to fill // time is running out

what a privilege // what a burden
