The Georgie Gust Exhibit

"Be a doer and not a critic," Tony Blair once said. Pastiche, it is, in response to the heavily criticized and controversial author Jonathan Harnisch's (Porcelain Utopia, 2016, etc.) work and life. He offers this colossal work of erotic literary art that mixes styles, materials, etc., wildly varied in style and content. "I am a troubled man," the author confesses, "with feelings. I am not good, but I know how to be good. I burn bridges and build better ones. I can’t make my mind up because my mental landscape is full of wondrous things! I can love, and I am learning to be in love with myself. I don't know how to trust, but I trust I am alive. I make more mistakes than I should so I am continually learning. I am always sorry, and I always forgive myself. I never change and yet I feel changes. I am afraid of letting anyone else in my life too close and yet I find I'm not running away because I am curious. The door to my life is open because I am genuine and authentic and real. People will come and go, and I am blessed that I have known them. The door is too big for it to be blocked by anything that wants to flow free, and the current of life that goes through it pulls with it all its uncertainty." Pastiche is one of the most disconnected, confused intentionally unedited literary masterpieces of independent writer Harnisch's untamed career, exploring its readers to the flighty, turbulent and often disturbing schizophrenic thought patterns, which the disorder presents. The author also struggles with schizophrenia. “I don't think writing is therapeutic. It's real hard for me. It's not an enjoyable process,” Harnisch admits.

Wednesday, April 13, 2016, 1 in 4 people experience mental health problems. Let's keep on talking about it.

At the end of the day, I stand by who I am. I am a good person.

Life has become just a tedious collection of hours where we have traded the possibility of dying of starvation for the certainty of dying of boredom.

At the end of the day, I stand by who I am. I am a good person.

At the end of the day, I stand by who I am. I am a good person.

Words of Encouragement: 

Do you feel overwhelmed with everything? Maybe it's come to a point that even the smallest tasks make you feel like breaking down and crying or even throwing a tantrum because everything just seems too much for you? Anxious? I feel that way too but I have decided to overcome it by taking it easy on myself and so my words of wisdom I will share are pure and straightforward: Easy does it. I could go on and on in this morning mini writing session, but, sometimes it hits us out of nowhere, and all of a sudden, this overwhelming sadness rushes over, we become discouraged, upset, and feel hopeless, sad, and hurt. Once again a feeling of numbness toward the world becomes our reality, rather our delusion, or illusion. Take the words of Dr. Suess, "Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting, So, get on your way!" Just take it easy on yourself. Trust me. In closing, maximize the good days and the moments within them, and minimize the bad, the best you can. That's all for now.
