In Love With Toxicity
An ode to unhealthy relationships
She was in love with toxicity. Overly attached to the lies and mistrust.
For her that unhealthy attachment was a must.
She loved the way he lied when he talked back.
Just when she thought she could get away she always walked back.
Whenever there was trouble for her man she would get into it.
Knew his way was no good, but was oh so addicted to it.
If only she could get away. At most she could spend a day away.
The exodus didn’t last long, she couldn’t stay away.
She was too addicted to that toxic potion.
Never would she get off train wrecked rollercoaster of emotion.
If she could she’d stay handcuffed to it for centuries.
She’ll never fall out of love with toxicity.

WARNING. I will be tapping into one of your favorite creative tensions: The absurdity of humans worshipping their glowing rectangles as if they were tiny oracles. There’s something deliciously poetic about that contradiction, and it lends itself beautifully to an instructive proviso.

Autonomy Is The Real Privilege
Good morning, freedom-seekers! Today we’re gonna be looking at autonomy. A strange word, I know; one many would probably look at blankly and run away from on sight. We’re gonna figure out what it actually means, consider how it’s achieved, and decipher just how deeply most of us are tangled up in dependence without realising it.
