Mediocre

I’ve always loved the life of mediocre. Sure when i was young there was an urge in me to do something so great like all these great people, but as the days went by , as the years gone by, i craved the life of mediocrity. People always say to me that i shouldn’t crave mediocre life i was not born that way i have so much potential to do something great. But i dont want that. They say you have really great mind , you put people at ease but i dont remember easing anyone. Feel like everyones lying. I am not all “appreciate little small things” i dont care to be honest. Going to work , coming back home, reading some book or having a cup of tea and going to sleep. Thats it. It is my paradise and no it doesnt feel like paradise at all it feel just mediocre but thats the point of it. We romanticize having a cup of tea and reading a book by window , i do that it doesnt feel all worth of romanticizing. Its just normal act with almost no feeling- the neutral thing. I watch moon at night and no feeling comes its just watching moon- the most neutral thing, i take warm shower at night no great feelings come its just taking a warm shower at night - the most neutral thing. For me this is the life i’ve always wanted, above all fame, respect,riches,connections and people. I have read a book called Alchemist where it talk about voices that if you wont follow those voices it will stop one day and you will regret it randomly for the rest of your life. Maybe that voices stopped but there is no regret its just calmness. I can just say now my greatness comes after getting rid of that greatness seeking voices. Its calm now ,its normal now, its mediocre now.

If your argument against me being childfree is, "But don't you want to leave a legacy?" just know if I wanted to leave something behind, I'd rather write a book than create a dependent.

A legacy doesn't have to come in the form of a person; and if that's the only thing that comes to mind whenever you think of leaving a mark in the world, then you're a very boring person.

In love with my abyss. I stare at it and it stare back at me and we stare at each other.

Most women refuse to educate themselves cause they weaponize dumbness as that leads them to get a better chance of getting selected and “loved” by men. I remember I tried so hard to teach my mother how to read and she refused to do so because she liked to be dependent on my father and it gave her an “innocence” appearance. This gives me chills whenever I remember that.

fun fact, it wasn't the woman hating that drew me into blackpill feminist circles, it was the relatively frequent nuggets of wisdom that these types of women would post, FOR FREE. a buffet of life-changing advice casually dropped for those who are intelligent enough to recognize the value of it. i rarely see this sort of wisdom being shared by other groups.

like hetradfems, for example, are most concerned about bullying males into rubbing on their titties because that is ultimately the endgoal of their activism, and muh male violence and crime statistics are 99% of what they post about. it's useful for your first month of feminism baby steps, but what's next?

i think, if you're gonna engage with others on social media, then at least make sure that it's words that you know you will be able to practically use to improve your life. personally i would rather be internalizing posts like this:

these women are intellectually inclined and even if i wasn't personally convinced of women's, as a class, wrongdoings and demented worldview, i would still take them seriously. those who are entirely unwilling to engage with this, or worse yet resort to mockery and censorship, are genuinely retarded. be happy you were even fortunate enough to find these gems in the sea of dogshit that is being posted online on the daily. learn to pick and choose, you gremlin.

I think a large large LARGE amount of hetero women enjoy / choose to be bangmaids lmao, its really not that deep

I mean sure there's that. And I agree it's important not to project your own low tolerance for misogyny on to other women. But the point I was making with that post is that as more women talk about the imbalance in het relationships, we also need to talk honestly about how men think and how we underestimate how calculating they can be.

Take the recent situation with thewizardliz and Landon. he cooked up the most humiliating thing he could do to her. Esp since she's built a platform on self improvement and high standards, so he decided to cheat on her with a woman who was a fan of liz and made sure she found out while she was four months pregnant. That was strategic. And it's a common pattern. Beyoncé is one of the most successful women alive and Jay Z still humiliated her. You're a radical feminist? He'll have you sweating over a hot stove. Height of your career? Pregnancy etc.

men don't care what you stand for. Sometimes their entire goal is to remind you that no matter what you've built, you're still just a woman to them.

They undermine your values, your accomplishments, your identity because the endgame is control. Getting you back into the role they want you to play. something I wanted to add to that post is that when women start to realise this, they turn to dating strategy. "Avoid these red flags" "have high standards" as if you can outsmart someone whose mission is to humble you and put you in your place. if that's his goal, he'll say and do whatever it takes.

They could wait until you've emotionally invested, until you're married, until you're pregnant before you fully realise what's going on. I've seen men do women wrong! Simply to break her spirit..... The stories I have. So you can end up "bangmaid" status without even realising it. I was saying that it's not always on purpose..... Usually they just give up and convince themselves they wanted it all along.
