Just a dude trying to get his life together. It's 4pm and I'm still struggling with the grappling master known as my blanket.

I'm happy to report that I haven't had an academia-induced nightmare in quite a while.
Took nearly a decade after finishing my masters degree to get to that point.
Still wrestling with mental health, but I'm making progress.

If I’m ever a professor again, I want to give a graduate seminar, topics to include:
- how not to say stupid shit about fields outside your expertise
- what is your expertise, anyway?
- how not to be an insufferable bore
- your PhD doesn’t make you a better person: coping with that
Other ideas?

I've been trying to get into art, but I'm realizing that it is difficult to motivate myself without an active art community.
Maybe the ideal is to not rely on extrinsic factors, but when you wrestle with mental health, sometimes that extrinsic help is necessary. At least, for me, it is.
