I've learned to live a cheaper lifestyle so that if my money goes away or when my money goes away, because I'm so fucking outspoken.

I'll be okay.

I'm pre-adaptive now to defensively adaptive, but in a way that I find deeply satisfying to creating a world, a community and a life that no one can take from me because everything did get taken from me for a while.

um not at the scale and it was global when it happened to me but not at the scale of of what happened to you but it doesn't and no but the point is is that but but it's so amazing that you're aware of that terror and you must continue to you can't just think that away and you can't even crystal and kumbaya or somatic therapy it away those are all

important but you have to actually actively build a world that nobody can take from you because if you can just protect your fucking mind and your body I know from having lost my mind and then lost control over my body that those suddenly came into focus as the two most important things that I will ever have and so now that I've got that shit on lock provided I stop falling over on marble laughing

I feel, and I think this is what I resonate, an unshakable sense of self.

Yes, you do.

And I think it's confusing to people because they're like, where does this come from?

What are you doing on the outside to create it?

It's like nothing.

I've actually started to take the outside world appearance, everything with a pinch of salt.

I'll participate in a kind of fair weather way, but my shit is so simple.

My lifestyle, my ethos, my priorities are so simple and so rigid that I know exactly who I am and nobody can tell me otherwise.

Nobody can destabilize me from that.

I like myself and,

enough that everyone can hate me now and I've still got my own back.

I will obviously take some suggestions if that happens.

But I love the tiny little life I've built.

It's waking up and having cake with coffee for breakfast because that's what I fucking want.

And I know you're not supposed to have fucking sugar in the morning, but everyone can go fuck themselves because it's the nicest way to wake up.
