My Deepest Thoughts...

Yeah, I have more to say...

If both sides claim you, you are probably doing something wrong.

If both sides critique you, you are probably doing something right.

You can't always grieve what you taunt.

You can't keep a down woman good.

You can keep a good man down.

Why do markers get to be magic?

What is a crock, and why are they usually made of shit?

Why does mucus taste better than ear wax (a gross fact we don't want to admit)?

I see many causes without rebels.

I prefer meeting people antisocially.

All too true...

    This speaks to me about questioning and curiosity, and about not being afraid to say what you think. All important things for us right now’ “Why do markers get to be magic?”😂😂

    Dark but justified observations, interesting thoughts. causes without rebels...I like that one. Food to ponder. Hmmm!

    "If both sides critique you, you are probably doing something right." This thought resonated with me the most. Loved all the following questions too...wrestling for the answers, in my humble opinion, can only spark ideas for future creative writing projects. Thanks for sharing.

    Love the thoughts you had. Really like the mucus versus ear wax one. I think its a texture thing.
