I wore black today to celebrate this article coming out :) All I remember from the existentialist Tuesdays: wearing all dark colors in the dining hall, and carrying around my copy of Huis Clos (though that might also just have been for class). I think I was part of it only as it dwindled and right before it "lost its power," as you say. Love these memories you bring up, I hope to write out my own recollections of college before they are lost.
This is delightful. I don't think it was ever destined to last long. But it was beautiful as it traced its meteoric route across the sky. Please do write out your recollections. (And send them to me—I'd love to see them!)
You have proof right here that you have truly existed on a Tuesday beyond existentialist Tuesday! Haha :) To me it seems as though you are well on your way to creating meaning through the lens of memory.
What a delightful blend of youthful angst; a treatise on the joys and sorrows of being alive and being all too aware and yet unaware of things at the same time. What a bittersweet recollection of a formative memory that can't be expressed better than in writing after being filtered through the growth and reflection of several years and life changes. Bravo! I am determined to learn more about philosophy after reading this for sure, I want to talk about these things with you! My college memories are far more D&D-tinged, haha :)
Love you and loved reading this! Don't know why I formatted this comment like a letter but it's too late to abandon efforts now.
Kayden, you and Josh would have gotten along so well with my friend group in college. There was a lot of D&D that I didn't end up participating in since I had just gotten married and was working a lot when it started up! And what a lovely comment <3 I like the epistolary style. We shall definitely have to engage in some profound musings together in the future.
