we have one life to live. one. why don’t we do anything and everything to make that life better? why do we continue to get in our own way? why do we allow useless people who feed us useless information to waste our time? waste our energies? we have one life to live. ONE.
we are born into this world amidst chaos and excitement. parents generally excited to welcome their new baby into this world. generally filled with smiles and genuinely filled with love. so what happens after that? why do some parents continue to love their kids and others do not? why have kids if you don’t want to have kids? do most people get sucked in by society and it’s never ending rules of boredom and dullness? why do so many people continue to follow the old dried up rules from yesteryear that continues to make them miserable and in debt? why? and these same parents THRUST their dull opinions and advice on their poor kids who don’t want their advice but get it nonetheless. parents who are miserable with their own lives. miserable with their failed choices and failed marriages. parents who know the clock is ticking but cannot get out of their own depression. their own quicksand. their own way. parents who followed their parents and their grandparents and so on and so on. rules made up by old rich white guys with stupid lapels and stupid grins. stupid men with big pockets and even bigger egos. big heads. big cars. big houses. big red noses. big suits. everything big except their penises. overcompensation ALWAYS IN FULL ORDER.
so why do we continue to listen to our elders if they are wrong about life? wrong about death. wrong about themselves but never able to look in the mirror to fix themselves. to help themselves. to help their families. families passing shitty advice down the line until, hopefully, one brave soul breaks the cycle. but that BRAVE SOUL needs big shoulders and big plans. big ideas and big passions. a bigger heart and a bigger soul to break the cycle of WRONG. to break the cycle of BOREDOM. to break the cycle of doing anything and everything for the government but the government never doing anything nor everything for you. BREAK THE CYCLE AND BREAK IT NOW.
WE HAVE ONE LIFE TO LIVE. one. live it. love it. embrace it. think for yourself. do not listen to your parents if what they are teaching you is wrong. if what they are showing you is dull. if you witness them, from afar, chasing possessions and chasing accolodes and yet you also witness, from afar, the depression and anger and stress that results from the never ending chase, then DO NOT FOLLOW. follow your own rules of life. your own thoughts. your own emotions. but in order to be brave enough to follow your rules. your thoughts. your ideas. your life. you must get out of your motherfucking way. break vicious cycles. break vicious bad habits. break off bad relationships with bad people who waste your time and even worse, waste your energy. you must know what makes you happy. know what makes you laugh. know what turns you on. know what excites you. know what angers you. know what depresses you. know what saddens you. but YOU must know. not your depressed parents nor your non caring doctor nor your barely caring teacher nor your nosey neighbour nor your dull mayor nor your dull premier nor your dull prime minister nor your dull president. YOU MUST KNOW. and the only way to know yourself is to look at yourself. look at your life. slow down and look. look closely. DO NOT look with someone else’s eyes. some else’s opinions. look with your eyes. your emotions. your thoughts. slow down and look. look. does your fancy car make you happy? does your fancy house make you happy? do your fake IG posts make you happy? do Vegas trips make you happy? where you sit and gamble away the day. gamble away your life. does it? does it really make you happy? we are all different so maybe it does. BUT you must really look and really decide for you.
look.
slow down.
look.
contrary to all the dull assholes that live dull lives and have fake opinions and fake smiles, ANGER IS GOOD. ANGER will tell you something about yourself. what makes you angry? what makes you feel? what makes you smile? what makes you engage? WHAT TURNS YOUR CRANK?
I cannot possibly understand the notion of sitting back and wasting my life away. we all get old. fact. you can pull your wrinkled skin back 100 ft and you will still be old. you can have tummy tucks. breast lifts. nose jobs. lip enhancements. facelifts. fake hair. fake clothes. fake cars. fake smiles and fake hearts. BUT YOU ARE STILL OLD.
one life to live.
live it.
