It's hard to blend when I constantly have a hose in my hand.

Sometimes you can't blend in. Sometimes you just gotta walk away.

Last night I had to leave the grocery store to keep from kicking the young man in front of me-----HARD.

I overheard him say this to the person with him:

"Doesn't seem to have hurt Ford to have his dick rubbing on her. She wound up being a doctor. What's the big deal? I mean, it might of even helped her be a better person, like become the person she is today."

If I'd known which car he was driving I'm sure I wouldn't have been able to resist keying it. Maybe it would have made him a better person.
Where are we going and why am I in this hand basket?

I've gotten in trouble a number of times because I almost never attempt to 'blend in' or let things go. I consider it a moral imperative to correct bad public behaviour, either by lecturing in a loud, profanity-laced manner, or with physical violence. For example, if I had been in outta's situation, I would have told the guy claiming that sexual assault is a good thing to shut his face before I broke it for him.

Imma be me.

I don’t think I explained myself well enough. I don’t mean basic quirks. There are many things I don’t suppress just to blend in, because I couldn’t give two fucks about what people think. But there are things you just have to control, so we can function as members of society. I don’t think I can express how sick I feel listening to children cry. I’ve gone to therapy over this and still, there it is. What I do is what I have been practicing. Focus on my work and try to fade it away as much as I can. There’s no better way to cope with it. Lol I am coping. I’m still walking around and doing my job. How much better can it get? Making it go completely away? Where’s that magic potion?

So I completely understand walking away like outta says. Sometimes you just have to leave the area.

-keep a 6pack of ale8one in the fridge. Shit's disgusting. It's easy to keep it in the fridge, but I miss the space sometimes.

To blend in I refrain from coming up to my workmates and acting  like I am picking off their fleas/ lice and then eating them. I don't do that at work. Not any more.

I tried blending in. I wished to be that wall flower. It got me made fun of and ridiculed. Now? I have zero fucks to give. None of those people out there in the world are paying my way through life so their opinions don't matter. I am the person I'm supposed to be, faults and all. And I'm okay with the knowledge that not everyone likes me or likes my personality. Not everyone has to.

I thought people were trying to hunt me down to kill me for 40 years. I didn't share that with anyone, for obvious reasons. I blended as best I could.
