I may not know how to contrive an opening - at least not how to do so successfully. But concluding on a contrived moment of realization? Um... I believe that might be the entire point of what my simulation is testing... When is it, in a conversation I'm having with myself and only myself - in this diatribe of irrelevancy when do I reflex and pull a George Costanza?
RIGHT?
Right..

It is fair to claim:
Realizing this is who/what we've become:
AND THEN, doing something about it!

Third time is definitely not a charm. Mostly because there's way too much ex-girlfriend talk in this one. I don't know what overcame me to go this way but I've done did it so...
I honestly might be losing my mind in real time here.
As if ...

Hmm. Okay. This one is a tale of two parts mashed together to make a single disjointed recording that may cause motion sickness if not properly hypnotized by a back-alley magician with the humanity to ensure no animals are used in their performances.
Feel like seeing a magic trick?
If not... well abracadabra don't make me reach out and grab ya!

Hello universe!
As always, my greatest hope in this lifetime is to somehow, some way, get the chance to see you performing at your absolute best.
That day may not be today... I get…
Plainly stated it's become a flustercuck. One that's emerging right now in full cluster. The worst part is that I saw it happening in real time and did nothing to stop it. The blame falls directly on me.
And quite fairly.
For most of my existence I ignored the signs of collapse as they begged to be seen. I pretended the chicanery running rampant across reality would somehow fix itself without intervention.
I watched as truth become maleable, destroying facts in the process. Personal integrity was now a sign of weakness. Reach across the aisle? For what? Only losers compromise.
Winners take all.
Societal accountability? Never heard of it.
I'm clearly at fault for letting things deteriorate the way they did through my decisive inaction. Agree on that we do. However, all of us are now permitting the beat down 21st century life has become.
We aren't winning. Not even a little bit.
We're all bruised. We're all bewildered. We're all rudderless. We're all living as diminished versions of the true selves we arrived here to become. We all know this isn't how it's supposed to be.
Are we ufulfilled fundamentally?
Yep. Sure thing. In fact absolutely positively.
But not broken.
Because never, will I ever, come to a point where I lose my faith in you.
What we are capable of accomplishing by working alongside each other is mind-blowing. Our creative potential knows no limits in this universe! None.
In fact today, together, let's embrace our best selves and bask in the fulfillment that inspires. My humanity is ready to ascend.
I hope yours is too!
