Before we get ahead of ourselves, know that I don't mean this in an all-encompassing sense. If I'm looking to make a friend, I wouldn't seek out someone who hits me just because they are fabulously well read. However, it has occurred to me that if parts of my everyday life are made interesting by a sudden turn of events, I tend to be happier than if those same parts of my day had just been "good". If I can honestly say that an experience would make for an...]]></description><link>https://dswaim444.wixsite.com/live-from-the-hole/post/interesting-good</link><guid isPermaLink="false">68a100b581e6ee2fae5521be</guid><pubDate>Fri, 14 Nov 2025 23:01:00 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/fc13b1_d9452cfe3f1b4448a4352c0d6d342e92~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Dollie Swaim</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[EATON, KENNETH, HURST, LIDIA, AND THE PALISADES: I LOVE YOU LA AND I'M SORRY]]></title><description><![CDATA[I left the book I've been reading on my desk before I drove out. This shouldn't be important to me, and it's not really, but it's something I can focus on. The book is a collection of folklore distilled into short stories by contemporary Indigenous writers. There are twenty-six stories in total; when I left it, I was in the middle of one that referred to the first human life in what is now Western America as The People , and the colonizers who destroyed their homes and killed a great deal of...]]></description><link>https://dswaim444.wixsite.com/live-from-the-hole/post/eaton-kenneth-hurst-lidia-and-the-palisades-i-love-you-la-and-i-m-sorry</link><guid isPermaLink="false">678208285fba3912e79d4a33</guid><pubDate>Sat, 11 Jan 2025 20:09:56 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/fc13b1_8bae83568992442da09c3d1c8b03f5dc~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_480,h_480,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Dollie Swaim</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[THE RISE OF THE ARCHETYPE, THE DEATH OF INDIVIDUALITY, AND THE ATACAMA DESERT]]></title><description><![CDATA[Cultural unity is one thing, but the complete over-saturation of modern American culture by "trendiness" feels more like a plaster mold for us to lay down in and stand up changed. Overnight, we can become the preppy, old-money clean girl of our dreams, as if this hyper-niche person has always secretly been inside of us and has finally been allowed to step out through a pack of multicolor claw clips from Amazon. 	But of course, this never lasts.

I was hardworking, sure, but for what? I hardly ever got to a point where I was really happy with what I had made. Usually, there was just a point where I would fall asleep at the counter. Looking back on it, I think I was more obsessive than diligent.
