5/26- Evergreen

What the fuck is wrong with this place?

Evergreen’s impact on you is an unidentifiable malaise that sneaks around your spirit. One day, you just wake up and realize you don’t feel like the person you once were, but who knows why? Something about accumulating aborted almost amazing conversations about almost good ideas begins to claw at your sense of ‘self,’ leaving you confused to your purpose or motivation. Maybe the self directed study format leads people to develop personal islands of perspective/humor/music/culture, but the result keeps conversation short and connections difficult to grasp. Conversation consists of collections of tiny judgments, awkward or deliberate silences and confused political interactions. Everyone has a well developed sense of right, wrong, and the orchestration of politics, but no one seems to have a good grasp on why they feel the way they do. The juxtaposition of progressive politics and general political ignorance deadens conversation and common intellectual space to connect to people with. It’s something you want to like so much, but can’t bring yourself to because of a lack of rhyme or reason.
