The American Lie
They wanna divert the attention of the masses. Exploit our vulnerabilities. Take advantage of our psychological weaknesses. Fuck with our minds a little. Why not create a full world of absent-minded people ? Intermittent fixes of dopamine is all it really takes to keep us asleep in our own little bubble of delusion. “As long as your happy, that’s all that matters.” The truth is that the path they laid out for us isn’t one that leads to happiness. It’s one that leads to misery and more fakery.
They’re tryna make us get away from our roots - to make us lose touch with our very own essence. Everything is made out to keep us mindlessly busy and entertained. We’re constantly connected to external outlets - yet we’re deeply disconnected with ourselves.
What’s real in a world where all is fake? What’s real in a shit show where everyone wears masks as if it were their true identity? How can we show the real world our true colors anyway? We don’t even know who we are in the first place. We’re all lost trying to find home in a place that doesn’t want us to belong.
When I say go let’s all drop our fake identities, throw our ego out the door, take the elevator and escape from this mess. You are free to be. Stop people pleasing. Fuck people judging. Don’t let anyone cast you in a binary social system that you don’t want to be part of. Create your own path. Make your own mark. Follow your own narrative.
Step away from the illusions society tries to lure you into. Life is too short to follow anyone’s agenda but your own. It might hurt for a while to take your own stand and dare to be you. But I promise you that it’ll be worth it all. You’ll inspire others to do the same.
Turn off your phone, take off your shoes, go ground yourself into this beautiful earth. Go hug a tree. Go meet your neighbors. Smile to everyone you see today. Sprinkle kindness everywhere you go. Tell your mom you love her. Tune into humanity. We don’t have to let the world fuck us up.
We all have some magic in us. We all hold gifts inside of our hearts that are only waiting to be discovered and shared with the world. What are we waiting for? Society’s approval? It won’t happen.
Let’s seek our own approval.
It starts now.
