Confusing, but Inspiring

Cave Johnson once said,

“When life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don’t want your  lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life’s manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I’m the man who’s gonna burn your house down! With the lemons! I’m gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!”

…and that’s a quote I live by.

Assignment wise, this blog is supposed to be inspiring. Ultimately, it’s up to the reader to determine whether or not I have succeeded.

When I was in the fourth grade, I wrote personalized fan-fiction for my peers, and sold it to them for $2. That was what I consider to be the start of my writing career. Writing those glorious, tragic, X Reader stories, the kind I read on Tumblr and Deviant art on a daily basis. Everyone loves a good tragedy. Even Shakespeare, he was all about some tragedies.

All that to say, now I just let people read my writing for free. Could it be possible that I’ve downgraded in that sense? Not entirely. I enjoy free things, so therefore, so should other people.

You know how- when you go to McDonalds, and they ask you if you want to make your meal a large size? And you know you can eat a large fry, but couldn’t get halfway through the drink, and so you end up just keeping your meal a medium size? That’s kind of how life is. sometimes you gotta downgrade, but its for the best. You aren’t wasting anything, you’re just conserving fries for the environment. metaphorically. It’s not really a downgrade- more so something that just… makes sense.

I understand society.

Society is like the plot of Cats! The Musical. It is confusing. If you fit within one of these categories, however, you should be able to live a long and prosperous life

  1. Having very little respect for authority
  2. Having too much respect for authority
  3. owning a candle
  4. being a meteorologist

Any of these sound familiar? If you fit in to one or more of these categories, you qualify to be a jellicle cat. With that title, you don’t have to worry about selling your fan-fiction for a high price. In this world, we gotta love and accept ourselves for being alive, and being who we are in this sentient shell. We cant focus so much on material things, because that’s what the economy wants us to do, and we gotta be some star-wars level rebels.

I hope that somewhere, somehow, this has brought someone peace. I will now drop my mixtape for some extra inspiration.

Rock on, sentient shells.

Is it natural to wonder how people hear your electronic voice? We all have our own interpretations of literature, and what the narrators voice sounds like. To be of influence, i'd love for my electronic voice to be compared to that of a gremlin. When you read my posts, read them in the most gremlin-like voice possible. The kind of gremlin that lives under a bridge of a dried up lake, steals everything, and has a nice stash of marshmallows to roast at the earliest convenience. Do what you want with this information :)
