Context: This used to be my dating profile on OKCupid... It still is... but it's optional now instead of manditory ('cause I figured out how to get links to work).
If you are 100% "happy" with everything in your life as it currently is... Then #1 WTF are you doing on this site!?!? #2 You probably want to move along to some "safer", more boring profile... something that lives up to your current expectations of "how things should be"... I'm sure you'll be much happier... I'll wait for you to move along so I can talk to the "grown-ups" that are left "in the room" ...
....Still here 'eh!?! This is your final waring!!! *Danger Jill Robinson*... *Danger*... Your life may never be the same if you continue reading...
OK... Here we go, but remember have enlisted voluntarily for what you are about to experience...
#1 Everything you think you know... is wrong... I don't mean this figuratively, I mean it literally!
We are all the same. Again, I mean literally.
Oh, we think we have differences, race religion, family, color, politics, carrer, hobbies, etc....
These are all just ideas somone created, and we take them on board as "our" ideas, and use them to make Mt. Everest out of a grain of sand...
99. 999999999% These are all just creations of someone else mind... And have been fed to you since birth... You are literally "programmed" with someone else's bogus ideas that you THINK are your own...
Every Idea you have taken on and hold on dearly to is just another bar in your self constructed prison, With the ones that are definitely "you" being seated in some deep seated childhood trauma... I'm NOT saying anything particularly traumatic actually happened (though sometimes it does) but its just part of the human maturation process to perceive some wrong has been done to us, and "latch" onto some idea about how we are going to fix it...
Then We live our entire lives responding against that "wrong" that was done to us we were 3 or 5 or 15 years old...
The problem with this is that we are ALWAYS responding to some past event, and NOT whats happening in our lives, right here and right now... So our response always come off a little to a LOT "off kilter"...
Now Take this dating site... Everyone says they can only date someone of the right religion, ethnic background, career, hair length, weight, etc... etc... ad nauseum...
And, NONE OF IT and I MEAN NONE OF IT was ever CHOSEN by YOU as a mature adult human being... You are being run by the fears, preferences and decisions of a 5, 10 or at best 15 year old... Informed by all the partial truths and outright lies that circle the planet over and over for centuries and never seem to die...
OK, So if its all so dire why do I bring it up anyway... Simple...
IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE SO!!!
If we are our own jailers, we also hold the "key" to unlocking our own prisions...
Is this easy?!? NO... Is it worth while!??! definitely...
I've been at it since 23... And I *A LITTLE* more free than I used to be... but in this circumstance, if you can slip between the bars every once in a while, and take a look outside the prison... What a view!!!! What surprises!!! What Joy!!!
So if you want to make a prison break with me... Here I am willing to give you all the help and support possible...
If you rather remain an inmate that is your choice as well...
