Perception Is(n’t) Reality
When this idea was first espoused, it wasn’t intended to mean that perception IS reality. There is a truth that exists and is true despite whether it is believed or denied. No one who settles on an idea thinks that their thoughts are misaligned with this reality, and everyone thinks they’re objective. It is by […]

It Doesn’t Matter
You’re standing over your phone, waiting for it to charge, with your shoulders pitched forward and your neck bowed by the heavy weight of a troubled head. It’s the posture of shame, or defeat, and I suppose that both could fit the context. Whoever it is that showed me all this, the deep fakes with […]

By Design
I don’t really know what happened. It seems to be the major theme with this group of people. The ones who constantly violate my boundaries, the liars and the gaslighters, disrespectful to my face and worse behind my back. The ones that I have consented to call friends and lovers for these past three years, […]

I Make the Rules
You gave me a list of things you think I should do, and while I agree with parts, I’d like to propose some modifications, and I’d like to list a few more. An accurate evaluation of my progress must necessarily include my present struggles and intended future and a proposal for the course of action […]

The Intent of the Law
I misrepresented Kohlberg’s stages of moral development in a conversation earlier today, I know because I just looked it up, so to preface what I want to say, I’ll right my wrong here. There are six stages, each with their own desired end, which I title differently than my source for the sake of accuracy […]

Cheating
“Remain devoted to one another NO MATTER WHAT,” reads the pamphlet. A pang of guilt shoots through my gut, then my face contorts into a sarcastic snicker and I smack my lips. “Nah man, look, check this out…” I’m speaking for myself, but I’m a very fair person and I think that the real God […]

Apology Accepted
Well, that’s the closest that I’m gonna get to an apology anyway, I’m sure. I don’t know why you took an interest in me, to be honest. I don’t think it really matters anymore. It’s been fun, certainly a life-changing experience, and someday it’ll make a hell of a book. I’ll write it as soon […]

If I Could Change It… Or Change You
Imagine you meet someone perfect for you. You’re usually the funny one, but this gal or guy makes you laugh your butt off and you need barely get a word in. They like to cook, good thing because you don’t, and they hate to do the dishes, which you don’t mind. The time you spend […]

Who You Are
“The war is ours,” reads the bio of another fake profile depicting another familiar face with ten friends that look like people I know, but aren’t. “It’s called deepfake, you moron.” They all still tell me I’m crazy, you know? Everyone does, especially the people who know I’m right. Two years of gaslighting at the […]

Dakota
Brian did me a favor and blocked you on Snapchat after that little tirade of yours, so I can’t reply to you directly. But I’ve been meaning to write you your very own blog for a good two years now, so I thought now would be the time, since you’ve provided me with so very […]
