Are we born ourselves and then traumatized to change and become someone else?
Or does trauma turn us into our true selves?
What even is a “true self”?
I’m convinced there isn’t one.
It makes me want to drop out.
It makes me regret believing in psychology.
There is no “normal”, we’re all fucked up in our own way.
Some people just have the privilege of functioning with their shit.
There is no normal, not anymore.
The world is dying and sanity in a sense, is insanity.
How can we be sane in a world of chaos?
A world that takes advantage everyday?
Where it’s everyone for themselves?
We’ve been taught the “golden rule” from a young age, yet trained that it’s everyone for themselves.
So is it “do unto others as you would have them do unto you”?
Or is it “do unto others before they do unto me”.
It’s not a race or a competition,
But we’ve been bred to believe it is.
And I don’t think we’re the problem.
The problem is the lack of control each of us have over our own lives, our own freedom, our own wellbeing.
How can we focus on our happiness when we can’t even afford to eat?
The fact that basic needs have become a luxury is disgusting.
New generations understand this; voting doesn’t mean shit.
Either way we’re fucked; our world is falling apart in every aspect, quite literally it’s dying around us.
So why are we expected to vote for presidents that are from the same generation that fucked this world?
Their “promises” mean nothing.
Their “plans” mean nothing.
Their “goals” mean even less.
They’ll be dead before most of us have children.
Why continue to ruin the world?
Because it already is… and they’re just pretending to clean it up.
They don’t care.
So why should we?
