“Chemistry is change and change is the core of your belief system. Which is good because that’s what we need more of – people who refuse to accept the status quo, who aren’t afraid to take on the unacceptable”

I’m not sure if I’m the only one, but… I hate finding myself living constantly in my head—in my dreams—because I feel lonely. I wish life were so simple that I could live moment to moment feeling as though I’m in best so called ‘best life’ as they say, and yet… I long for that moment when I’ll finally have someone to call my own.
They say another will not complete you, and yet my soul constantly yearns for more… for another. Why is it so?

Growth capitalism is a deranged fantasy for lunatics.
Year 1, your business makes a million dollars in profit. Great start!
Year 2, you make another million. Oh no! Your business is failing because you didn't make more than last year!
Okay, say year 2 you make $2 mil. Now you're profitable!
Then year 3 you make $3 mil. Oh no! Your business is failing! But wait, you made more money than last year right? Sure, but you didn't make ENOUGH more than last year so actually your business is actively tanking! Time to sell off shares and dismantle it for parts! You should have made $4 mil in profit to be profitable, you fool!
If you're not making more money every year by an ever-increasing exponent, the business is failing!
Absolute degenerate LUNACY
