out of body experiences. chill or not chill?

answer: not chill.

i know i'm a hypocrite to boot as i write this but let me just quote my favorite communist for the millionth time:

be who you are
and say what you want
because those that mind don't matter
and those that matter don't mind.
-theodore geisel seuss-

you cannot allow yourself to act only based on the reactions of individuals around you. you cannot judge yourself based on the opinions of others. you cannot determine the value of yourself based on how much someone else values you. you cannot compare yourself to those around you. you cannot hold yourself to unrealistic standards... standards that you would never hold anyone else to because they are so ridiculously insurmountable. you cannot be perfectionistic.

if you do not follow these few instructions i guarantee you that the weight of the world will weigh heavily upon your shoulder until you can no longer support it. it will fall. crash. but guess what... the world will be just fine. you know why? because in actuality (that is to say, outside of your dreamland), you are not holding it up. it's really spinning on its own axis... with one complete rotation approximately every 24 hours... and takes 365 sets of 24 hours to complete an orbit around the sun.

dont think it does all that simply because you hold it up.

the ball is in your court. and it's just a ball. and you can let it drop every once in awhile without having to run a diving suicide to compensate for your fault(s).

you see, in life i know there's lots of grief,
but your love is my relief

end. sweet dreams.
