Observations of an Other


I see. I think. I feel.

Realization : Kindness

By Jane Tanfei|Mar 31 2014 | Thoughts

This morning I realized that I am a kind person. I have always technically KNOWN this, but today I realized it. What I mean is, I realized that I am inherently kind and compassionate – my first thoughts when I see someone struggle aren’t thoughts of disgust or dismissal, they are thoughts of how I can […]

Finding Purpose in Futility…

By Jane Tanfei|Mar 27 2014 | Thoughts

I have a very hard time trying to understand the point of enduring constant struggle in life. I feel like I am struggling just to keep my head above water – always on the brink of drowning, always trying to find that last bit of strength, so tired that I am always yearning to let myself […]

On Being a “4”…

By Jane Tanfei|Mar 24 2014 | Thoughts

So, there is a rating scale males use to judge females on “hotness”. Essentially, the males are more likely to spend time with a female the higher she rates on this scale of 1-10. I decided to go look up this scale to figure out what these people are talking about. I threw up a […]

Dual Nature…

By Jane Tanfei|Mar 10 2014 | Poetry, Thoughts

Duality and how – I am the guy in westerns With dead eyes and no regard for anything “sane”. I am the giant-eyed leather-skinned alien in UFO movies, Making clicking noises Make the skin crawl. Staring, unmoved. I am the reptilian monster, Watching from the trees, Tracking every move in the area – watching and […]

The Send-off…

By Jane Tanfei|Mar 06 2014 | Psychology, Thoughts

I am flip-flopping – still – on if I want to share this information. It is painful to me, but I need to get it outside of myself because I need to reflect upon it from an external viewpoint. For the past couple of weeks, I’ve tried to solve a problem in my mind – how […]

Compassionate Conflict…

By Jane Tanfei|Mar 06 2014 | Psychology, Thoughts

Sometimes, I feel despair because I think about how my emotions are pointless and useless – they are good for nothing besides causing me pain. I was thinking about how I’m always out of sync – feeling happy things when socially I “should” feel bad, or seeing negativity where others only see positive things. Most […]

Learning Curve…

By Jane Tanfei|Mar 03 2014 | Psychology, Thoughts

Over the past week, I’ve had two more encounters to practice my “walk away from rude people” skills with. It is not easy. I’m trying to stick by the idea: they start insults, I walk away. On the second encounter (multiple people, typical mob mentality), I was talking to one person when a second person […]

New Illimitable Goal…

By Jane Tanfei|Feb 27 2014 | Metaphysical Discussion, Psychology, Thoughts

Sometimes, I go out and play live music. On one such recent occasion, I had a pretty good time, and then I suddenly started to feel very alone. I felt really empty and isolated, despite the fact that there were kind people around and it had been a joyful evening. The strangest part is that […]

Understanding…

By Jane Tanfei|Feb 24 2014 | Psychology, Thoughts

I just realized what I have learned about myself in the past few days: I don’t want to be detached anymore. It’s strange to think that, but I recognize now that I usually am detached because it is a way to protect myself from emotional upset. I think now that I understand the reality that […]

Pulling Calm from Chaos…

By Jane Tanfei|Feb 24 2014 | Curiousity, Thoughts

The one thing I don’t like about my life is that is intermittently, against my will, chaotic. I get stuck in ideas sometimes – trying to figure out the point of these situations. I know, intuitively, that there is a reason for those experiences, but I have a hard time just accepting that the “ah-ha moment” […]
