Just say what you mean for fucks sake

I read somewhere that if we read something that reminds us of ourselves it's probably about us. Some starlet musician capitalized on this, writing a song called "If you think this song is about you it is". I think. My source could be way off. I think it's natural for humans to read into things. We're self absorbed, but it also ties into wanting acceptance. If someone "vague-books" something we immediately try to decipher it. We might see ourselves in the cryptic words. Is it guilt? Is it self consciousness? Insecurities? Our desire to be the center of the author's focus?

Seattle is passive-aggressive. Maybe the whole PNW.

Vague-booking is a form of passive-aggression. You feel like you can't confront whoever has spurned who so you make a cipher public, hoping that asshole sees it and knows you're on to them. However, all your friends see themselves in it, and so your post is the root of weird anxious tensions. It'd be different if people actually looked into themselves and try to determine why they reacted in such a way.

Self evaluation is scary and difficult. No one likes to admit they're wrong or uncomfortable. They'd rather be miserable in their trash fire.

The bones aren't scary; it's the meat

What is " Authentic self "? Humans are impressionable beings. We absorb our surroundings, mimic others in our environments. For safety, comfort, acceptance. Do we push our true selves away? Down in the mass of meat that puts our skeletal husks into motion, for the mere sake of acceptance of lemmings? I shared a high-five with a woman in my Social and Emotional Foundations class for having chronic anxiety in common. I am authentically anxious but do I define myself by it? Finding camaraderie among fellow anxiety riddled individuals helps with the struggle. It encourages continuing the conversation on mental health, and tearing down the stigma of shame. Lady Gaga wrote "I am obsessively opposed to the typical", and I feel that this describes me perfectly. My authentic self was found beneath the rubble of castles torn down. Dishonest keeps of identities I desperately wanted for the sole acceptance of trash.

One of those strange happenings sort of days

Assignment: write a scene (a double-spaced page) that shows your character in a situation that forces them to act "out of character." Write a scene that shows your character committing a slightly immoral act. This is done to add dimension to your character. Think small, quiet actions. Maybe your character tells a lie, gossips, confesses a secret. What propels your character into this action? Place your character in a specific setting and go from there. o0o A news clipping of an article titled “Three-week-old corpse doing better, family tells coroner” sat abandoned on a table at Starbucks. Maeve frowned at it from where she stood at the counter waiting for her fair-trade coffee. It lay open on one of the uncomfortable-by-design wooden chairs. The clipping looked old and was parched and yellowed along the edges, and in the creases from where it had once been folded into quarters.             From where she stood Maeve could no...
