Welcome to the shit show
And welcome to my journey of trying to figure out exactly who the fuck I am. It isn’t going to be pretty, it isn’t going to be fun, but it is going to be worth it. I believe that in today’s society finding people who are genuine, real, authentic, and unapologetically themselves is a rarity. I am that rarity. I will not sugarcoat my feelings, I will not hide my vices, my flaws, my imperfections. I am going to continue to say things exactly as they appear to me, and along the way I am probably going to say things you may not agree with, that’s okay. We can still be friends and have different views. I embrace it all, the weird, the out there, the quirky. I live in a constant state of disarray right now and I am trying to find some balance.
“Fall in love with someone’s dark side. Find the ugliest parts, the danger that lurks inside when no one is watching. Get down deep to the bottom of their soul, where you feel as though you’ve seen hell and love the hell out of that person. Because if you fall for someone’s light before you’ve stood alone in their dark, then you’re only loving the person they show you and that’s not real.”
