I think it’s easy to look at someone and quickly label them bitter and jealous, and it’s a lot harder to consider that maybe we don’t know everything because we can’t possibly know everything. I think people forget that we are the main character in our own stories, but the word is not one big story about us. We can only see things through our own eyes, but that doesn’t mean that different perspectives don’t exist. Everyone has their own challenges. Every group of people has its own set of challenges. Talk to people. LISTEN to them. Try to understand them. Why wouldn’t you wanna do that? I mean, it’s easy not to, but you’re not learning anything! Does that not bother you?? 

This is my take on pretty privilege. This is my experience as someone who doesn’t have it. I’m not the most eloquent speaker in the world, but I hope I was at least somewhat effective at getting my point out there. 

If you were someone who dismissed people like me before, I probably didn’t convince you otherwise, but I don’t know. Maybe I did. It’d be a lot cooler if I did. People tend to get MAD defensive when the word “privilege” is brought up in any conversation, but it is a very real thing and should be acknowledged and respected by every one of us. 

I would love to hear you talk about your experience. If it’s the same as mine, cool! If it’s the opposite, cool! Just be mature. Be open-minded. I’m not here to start a war. I’m trying to end one, actually. 

Hey. Do you remember AstroWorld? 

Do you believe in magic? 

Do you have any weird superstitions? 

How heavy does music influence you? 

What’s your favorite musical conspiracy theory? Do you believe it? 

My thoughts are literally so disorganized at all times. 😂 💀

I'm just goin' through it. I feel itchy, but like, emotionally. I just needed to get that out. Thanks.

I have a lot of really suggestive podcast titles for somebody who is ace. That is rather amusing. I think a lot of people today would say that they themselves are not normal and I genuinely believe that it’s because being abnormal is considered trendy at the moment. Like, do you know how many “NORMAL PEOPLE SCARE ME” shirts I see people wearing lately? The fact that that shirt is sold everywhere and so many people have it just cracks me up because like bro you are so painfully normal. That’s okay!! Your life is actually easier. Embrace your normal. It’s okay. 

So, Maya came to me with a question, and there aren’t many things in this world that I love more than a thought-provoking question. Fuck a present. Do you wanna make me happy? Come to my housewarming party and bring a thought-provoking question with you. 😂

Maya thank you so much for joining the podcast. It was such an honor to have you.

“I’ve got a hundred million reasons to walk away,

But baby I just need one good one to stay.”

Fuck that noise. I’ve got a billion trillion reasons to stay my ass the fuck right here, but give me one good reason and I’ll go.

Is it possible for a big sad to turn into a hypomanic episode? How can I tell if what I'm feeling is an actual feeling or just a stage in a bipolar cycle? Do I sound crazy? Am I being insane right now? Am I not near as level as I thought? I wanna end this loop. If I mess my life up on a whim, at least the groundhog reboot will finally stop. I think the song could be Greenlight by Hayley Kiyoko. Honestly, there are so many Owl City songs that would work quite well. I fell in love with his music because escapism is the whole thing, ya know? I should make a playlist! I'm gonna make a playlist. That'll keep me occupied at work. Oh, yay. *pom poms*

Listen. I wrote this on someone else's behalf. Here on planet Kye, we do not say someone's delightful unless we're being very literal.

Anyway, it was nice to finally get this chorus out of my head. It had been taking up space for too many years.

Thank you. Enjoy your day today. 💜

Okay so update:

I genuinely thought that my friend would get, like, secondhand embarrassment from this like I did not think that she was gonna like it, but she loved it, which was amazing! Here’s the wild thing though. Other people loved it! When I tell you, I did not see that coming… I still can’t believe that. Anyway, believe it or not, (because I still kind of don’t) a few people had asked me to release it as an actual song rather than just a podcast episode. SO, if you are one of those people, I want to say thank you because it’s really cool that you liked the song and also I’m gonna put the link right here, but I only have the Spotify link because I don’t listen to Apple Music but you can find it anywhere.

Hello. This year is so stupid and I hate it here. I swam to work the other day and boy are my arms tired. 🤭

Well, 2024 is gone. Shit is done. Shit was fast as hell. Iono, man. I'm..... I don't have..... Tune in net time or something, I guess. 🤷🏽😅
