What is Life Without a Story?

How many stories must I read until I live my own?

[serrangelic-art]

holding hands

[eclecticmiscellaneous]

You look back at your experiences in life, and you find you must give them a voice.

The Hero: A conscience

The Broken: Overpowered, and forced to yield.

The Cheated: Victory was stolen in your moment of glory.

The Cold: It can't hurt, if you choose to stop feeling.

The Contrarian: A victim of Expectations.

The Hunted: Instinct kept you alive.

The Opportunist: Ever looking for an easy chance to get ahead.

The Paranoid: Your only reliable companion has ever been fear.

The Skeptic: The only things you can trust are what you can see for yourself.

The Smitten: Worth is found in being wanted, needed by others.

The Stubborn: The World has made a warpath out of you.

Not, 'who is your favorite voice',

Who are you?

not doomed by the narrative but saved by the narrative. yeah i know you'd rather die than keep suffering but the story doesn't actually care what you want. you have to keep going, even when it hurts. even being erased from existence won't stop you from being salvaged from the wreckage of un-being. get up. keep pushing. keep bleeding. keep living.

adhd just makes your really bad at capitalism, unfortunately

like bro i am just floating in a bubble detached from the flow of time and you want me to work 8 hour shifts?

I am built to sit up from sundown to sunup with minimal food and less light watching for intruders or little animals that I can kill. That requires very little of what would actually be called work and a whole lot of just zoning out because my eyes and ears are naturally attuned to picking up and focusing on changes to the environment. I am not built for the 9 to 5 office world, Janet. Unless your job requires me to persistence hunt Mark for sport.

"No one can love you until you love yourself" is like the worst possible way of articulating "if you don't respect and value yourself, it's very easy to become attracted to people who don't treat you right and then justify their mistreatment, so be careful."

I truly hate the word “unalive.” There are so many other euphemisms that fictional Italian mobsters worked so hard to provide you with and you just ignore them.

[imjustusingthistolikeartists]

Especially when we were given so many of them!

- passed on

- no more

- ceased to be

- expired

- gone to meet his maker

- stiff

- bereft of life

- rests in peace

- pushing up daisies

- his metabolic processes are now history

- off the twig

- kicked the bucket

- shuffled off ‘is mortal coil

- run down the curtain

- joined the bleedin’ choir invisible

- this is an EX-PARROT

Happy Pride month, Doc!

Thank you, child.

There’s still plenty of work to be done, y’all make sure you drink plenty of water, now.

There is more than this. Even more than your vantage point can see.

You can, in fact, 'take it with you' after death.

Unfortunately, no human has yet figured out how to do that.

And they won't while you're alive.
