Hey Simba
Life is unpredictable and punctuated by moments of tragedy. It's also rapidly diminishing like a dislexic person's pencil eraser. The point is (that I’m not that funny) you shouldn’t be erasing yourself all the time and instead be using the pointy part of that pencil to articulate your life story to others and stop worrying all the time about what person A, B and C are thinking about you. That was a long mouthful. I guarantee they are too preoccupied thinking about what person D, E, F are thinking…. oh fuck I actually just realized it's spelt dyslexic. OK, I didn't just do that to be funny. In any case, I'm not going to go through the whole alphabet to illustrate my point. Which is? Many people are so worried about what everyone else thinks of them, and vice versa, which stops people from being who they actually are. Can you imagine a life where you are never yourself? It’s sad, and even worse, you are misleading the world and at the same time, your own soul. Can you really be alive if you aren't being YOU. If you are not YOU then you're just a phantom, a tacky replica on the 50% off shelf. You may as well not have a name and introduce yourself as 'Hi, I'm anything you want me to be.' Actually, that sounds pretty HOT. Maybe you SHOULD try that out on someone. No, actually don't, at least not until you can verify they are not a sex offender. Ok I'm doing that thing again where I veer off into the abstract recesses of my mind. Rewind. My pointy point is You need to be YOU more! Not some soapy ideologically brainwashed cookie-cutter moron and not a mask-wearing cape crusader. Be yourself, (Fucking love cliches), prioritize your unique soul before you go and forget you have one. Be Simba from the Lion King (but after the part where he goes awol and eats all the gross bugs under the log)… gross, seriously SIMBA, you aren't a wild jungle pig or a.....wait what is Timone again....some animal thing. Don’t run away from who you are, because it will come and bite you big time on the ass when you least expect. Btw, Timone is Greek for 'he who honors God'. And that's what you should be doing, because God lives in you, and I don't mean that in some tacky Christian way. I mean your spirit is an aspect of something divine, something worth manifesting. And you can honor it by presenting it to the world. It can't manifest if you keep it covered under a multitude of masks or if you go off into the jungle to eat bugs under logs because you are running away from who you are supposed to be. OK, I think I'm hungry now so must be off. BE you more, because the world has been waiting with great anticipation to meet you.
