Guys, I just want to say a few things while I’m still able to do so. Once she’s gone, I don’t know how much of me will remain, I don’t know if I’ll still be alive, so I want to get this all out now while I can.
First of all, whatever happens, I want you all to know how thankful I am. You’ve all played an important role in keeping me sane and alive throughout this nightmare. For all the encouragement, all the donations, all the advice, I thank you from the bottom of my blackened heart.
I want you all to remember that this place, this society, this zoo in which we work, play, live, suffer, die... it’s not real. You can touch it and see it with your own eyes, but it’s a facade. A layer of bullshit we all collectively pull over our own eyes.
We do it because there are certain truths we just aren’t ready to face in this life. For some, like myself, it’s to distract ourselves from our impending personal doom. For others, it’s to cling to ideas we aren’t ready to let go of. Our teams, our political camps, our tribes.
It should be obvious that these things mostly serve to divide us. To pit us against our fellow travelers. The worst and most powerful of us would use these divisions to further their own agendas. Don’t let them. There is only one currency in this world that matters; Love.
Love is the one true light in the darkness. And so far as we know, we are the only creatures in this vast uncaring void that have the power to push past nature’s programming and choose to love unconditionally. If we don’t, we allow the all-consuming dark to rule unchallenged.
Now, this doesn’t mean you need to love everyone unconditionally. Some people are beyond redemption and deserve your scorn. But it means that even when dealing with those people, you remember what you both share at bottom. That you don’t become that which you despise.
If you ever actually try being loving towards most people you encounter, you’ll notice one thing very quickly. The world absolutely WILL NOT allow it. People will mock you. People will push hard until it’s almost impossible to do anything but hate them viscerally.
They want you to turn into them. The angry, the petty, the childish, the Ignorant, the rude, the callous, the disenfranchised. They want you to suck up the bile they just spit at you and spit it back. Don’t. If you do what they do, act like they act, how are you any different?
Ignore the rat race. Participate in it as much as necessary to survive, but no more. See it for the devil it really is and turn the other cheek. Hit your enemies with the one thing they’d never ever expect: genuine kindness. You’ll see exactly how mad it drives them.
Spend your precious precious time doing what matters most. Making friends, building a family, helping those who can’t help themselves. Create art, make music, laugh, dance, love. Do it like the world is going to end tomorrow because for all you know, it will. Don’t wait.
See people for what they are; other versions of yourself. People who think and do things you might very well be thinking and doing too had you lived their lives instead. Never let the cold vicissitudes of nature rob you of your greatest strengths. Love one another.

Well, except for pedos and people who abuse animals.

Fuck them.
