Pretend to be crazy so you can get away
with doing what's right.
Remove yourself from situations where
you have trouble being and feeling your
true self.
Decrease your connection with anything
that tends to demean your spirit, shrink
your lust for life , limit your freedom,
ignore your soul, compromise your
integrity, inhibit your self-expressiveness.
Love your enemies in case your friends
turn out to be jerks.
Whoever you're longing for has been
changed by your pursuit of them. They are
different from what they were when you
felt the first pangs of desire.
To make them yours, then, you'll have to
modify your ideas about them.
Be careful what you wish for because if your
wish does materialize, it will require you to
change in ways you didn't foresee.
Give yourself another chance, pretend your
wounds are exotic tatoos. Jon York 2022
