Perception.
I could easily give in, despite my normally positive, usually happy outlook towards life, I could easily give in.
Should I do what most do? Adapt a daily routine of strapping on their blinders, “Honey have you seen my blinders? I could have sworn I left them on the desk.”
Maybe that’s the Mission behind the fluoride in the water, telling everyone how you’ll have great teeth, while in reality it lowers your IQ. Dumb everyone down to the point of complacency. Good thing I filter that shit out. Hopefully anyway.
Perception.
It is skewed so easily, manipulated by what they want you to see, by what they want you to hear. Spoon feeding millions their daily dose of BS. Pinching your nose and pushing it in. Like the narrative about masks. What sheep will do, so easily herded into their pens of control. “Off to the slaughter now”
Perception.
But I can’t, I can’t do what most do. I won’t wear those blinders, I won’t go live my life. It would be easier, for now at least, to turn away. Til it all plays out. But the easy path leads to one destination only. To a life where they hold you in complete control. Every aspect of your life In their hands. “You’ll own nothing, and be happy.” Yeah right!
What would my perception then look like, when I realize I’m on my knees?

Day 4 of Quitting
If this is how sobriety feels, maybe it’s better to go through life a little buzzed… this, along with other hits like, I want to kill myself, I wish I was dead, and I’m going to throw myself off a bridge have been the only thoughts on rotation these past few days. I promise myself that if, in a month, I still feel like this (‘this’ meaning despondent, full of rage, and simultaneously numb) I can go back to smoking. Until mid-February though? Nicotine is off the table.
