I wrote this a while ago for every mad soul that I’ve fallen in love with… enjoy

Dismissing something as weird isn’t part of what we stand for.
We live on the outside of the confines of what is proper, of what is normal.
We don’t have cookie cutters or molds of appearance of communication of expression of interest of sex of gender of ways to live. We don’t even have cookie cutters in the kitchen.

It is because we have a greater understanding.

Everyone of us comes from a broken home in one way or another.
We’ve led lives of heartbreak and sickness and understand one thing only- how to give love.
Because we know there’s nothing we can control, besides ourselves.
We’ve been in situations where nothing is secure, nothing is right, nothing is ours.
Losing that sense of security before being able to tie our own shoes is something we have in common.
But we have learned to adapt.
How to make a haven for ourselves- inside of ourselves.
So we may go into the unknown without fear.
The unknown becomes inviting, exciting even.
The world is our playground.

So many people waste their lives being afraid.
Suffocated by fear they live in anxiety
Of the future
Clinging on to the past
Not present
Never living in the present
Never stepping in to their autonomy
Sinking in to a rut that becomes conventional.
Stepping out becomes so uncomfortable
A level of uncomfortably that they aren’t willing to experience; a risk they’re not willing to take.
Saddest of all, they don’t know that they could handle.
So they don’t
They do what is expected of them
They do what they are told
They are at everybody else’s disposal.

We are at our own disposal.
We step out of ourselves intentionally, knowingly, willingly
Intending to grow.
Because we know everything that we are, even now.
We try Indian food,
We move to the city,
We go to nude beaches,
We make friends with criminals and housewives
We look after children
We go into strangers houses and treat them like family
We love one another fiercely
We cultivate
We soak up every experience, like sponges
We trip
We cook dinners for each other
We respect each persons boundaries but fuck with the ones that don’t deserve respect
We hail Satan,
We kiss Buddha’s hands,
We color the concrete jungles,
We follow impulses and instincts like the creatures we are
We paint the streets by night
We make music
We’re burning bridges between now and forever
We are the indigo generation
