I am not being myself because I’m afraid to be.

I don’t know if i have the strength to be that person.

And i care too much about short term approval.

I fear my GPS is wrong.

I dont want to be selfish or bad.

IDGAF about what other people think.

But I don’t value what i think either.

We lost faith that we could make a difference.

We cant stop money, power, internet, socialmedia, richpeople, politicians, military, oppression, or greed.

Personality is dumb because it’s worship of extreme people that we can have emotions about while capitulating our own person-ness.

Character is hard when you do it alone.

The person with the most character still has character when everyone else is weak.
