The oppressor begins a sentence with: "You are..."
The oppressed begin a sentence with: "We are..." & "I am..."
That's the difference.

How to be a Psychiatrist 101:
Have an exceptional Poker Face.
Play "Poker Face" by Lady Gaga on repeat during all of your appointments.
If your client is a woman, consensually poke her face to determine mental health diagnosis.
Constantly cover your face with Poker cards.
Congratulations. You now have a degree in dealing drugs.

You know what scares me more than COVID-19? Going back to normal.
Because "normal" is the reason why so many people are paranoid, willfully ignorant, manipulative, & dead right now.
What makes you think enough people have learned a god damn thing to move forward?

Have you ever seen or heard someone鈥攔egardless of them being man, woman, genderless, or giraffe鈥攁nd had a weird feeling that they was born and raised in St. Louis?
That means your Midwestern body is trying to tell you one thing: Run鈥攄o not walk鈥攖o the nearest exit. Your Spidey Senses are tingling, ringling, & ding-a-ling-ing.

We're all aware that Naruto didn't coin, popularize, or invent what is often called the "Naruto-Run," right?
We're all decently informed about Japanese culture, right?
We're not simply taking a single feature from Japanese culture & associating it with a single piece of Japanese media, right?
Right, America?

2020 swung its hardest blow on the way out.
It's ugly, like look at you, it's a damn shame. Forever remember ALL CAPS when you spell the man name.

Jhene Aiko sounds like the R&B Empress of Run-on Sentences.
That's just, like, my opinion though.

You will always be entitled to be wrong about feelings that aren't your own.
However, you're always entitled to validate someone else's feelings to decrease conflict.
Whether you agree or disagree with someone else's feelings, at least you're trying to consider them鈥攑resumably within reason.
And that's what matters first & foremost during any exchange of emotions.

How to Capitalism 101: The Falsest Dichotomy
Sign away many of your rights to a collective entity of corporate leeches in exchange for being provided with an income.
Work your ass off with little or virtually no support鈥攖hen rely on sheer willpower and/or your conviction that luck, your God, karma, Rudolph, Shrek, or whoever/whatever you believe in will aid you in an ironic fashion so you can earn an income.
By the way, I never said that your income would provide fulfillment & sustainability. "Fuck your feelings," replied Capitalism in its laissez-faire.

It is so bizarre for me to notice a representative of the Salvation Army ringing a bell to signal requests for donations towards their Red Kettle during a pandemic鈥攁ll while wearing a mask.
"Death is (literally) in the air, but so is Christmas cheer."

Please don't mistake the passion in my voice as inflexibility. I will validate your feelings on that aspect of my behavior unconditionally.

Recently, I finished the rough draft of an essay that took around 5 years to complete. I would like to receive thoughts, constructive criticism, and a thicker skin to process constructive criticism better than I have in the past.
Message me if you're interested and/or willing to help me. I'll send you a Google Docs file that contains my project. Serious inquiries only.

I'm gonna say it.
Your trauma is no excuse to waste unfair amounts of time interrogating new people about their intentions & integrity. The risk of heartbreak will always remain.
Work on yourself before developing any kind of relationship. Unless you're willing to communicate open and honestly & trust the other person's words, you cannot do both.
Have your cake if you want, but you will fail to eat it at some point.
