When You Bring Consciousness To Anything, Things

I Began To See My Body Like An Ipad Or A Car. I Would Drive It And Demand Things From It. It Had No Limits. It Was Invincible. It Was To Be Conquered And Mastered Like The Earth Herself.

I Think So Much Of My Early Life, Even Though I Grew Up White And Middle Class, I Was Completely Shattered By The Horrifically Violent Atmosphere I Grew Up In. I Am A Consequence Of Violence. That Opened A Door To Many Realities That I Would Not Have Experienced Had I Not Survived What I Did.

I Think The Human Species Is Very Suicidal.

Cherish Your Solitude. Take Trains By Yourself To Places You Have Never Been. Sleep Out Alone Under The Stars. Learn How To Drive A Stick Shift. Go So Far Away That You Stop Being Afraid Of Not Coming Back. Say No When You Don’t Want To Do Something. Say Yes If Your Instincts Are Strong, Even If Everyone Around You Disagrees. Decide Whether You Want To Be Liked Or Admired. Decide If Fitting In Is More Important Than Finding Out What You’re Doing Here. Believe In Kissing.

Danger Lurks When People Are Dissociated And Detached From Their Own Story Or Feelings.
