Did you take a course on how to make plebs fall in love with you?

Took the words right out of my fingers!

You're so kind.

I have struggled all my life with being an outcast. As I age, I keep learning the reason for that is not me being the problem.

If I told you my life story, asides from the fact that I don't know how to make things concise, it'd be long and filled with so many gasps that would make anyone wonder how the f*ck I'm still alive.

So the short version is this:

You and I are not the f*cking problem. THEY ARE.

So if we must escape, we will. We will not give them the satisfaction of killing us or seeing us die alive (Been there, and unfortunately, doing that as I still depend on my cringe & misery doling #fiat job).

We will escape by staying alive and simply by finding us...finding US.

We are in the world, but not of the world. We're here to find each other among the sea of reptile-ape mutated creatures that enjoy on feeding of the suffering of the true humans.

We are true humans.

If they want to change THEIR ways and evolve with us into TRUE HUMANS, I will welcome them.

But I sure as fuck will not DEVOLVE myself into their ways to attract them to my escape pod!!!

(I already do devolve myself, and I'm miserable for it, during my day job which is literally killing me, but I can't afford to leave it. There is wisdom that comes from that, and that is this: In MY DESIRED life, in my true BUBBLE of happiness... do you think Ima gonna want them any reptile-apes around me???)

I was going to respond to this privately but decided not to. I was away from home when I saw your reply on Amethyst (mobile) and wanted to reply wholesomely while in front of a desktop PC.

I have struggled all my life with being an outcast too. Fortunately, at this age (secret) I have come to be proud of my outcast membership.

If I weren't an outcast all my life I would not have grown into the same individual I am today. If someone hasn't any outcast experience, then I question their ability to interpret the world in a meaningful way.

Being an outcast is something I am thankful for every moment of my solitary life. While I am mowing my lawn, while I am vacuuming the cryptocave (mybasement) and while i eat dinner, open a beer, and lay my head down to sleep at night and cuddle my cat.

If I were not an outcast, I would be watching the grammies, checking stock apps, and chasing hoochies and attending mainstream events.

My story is very similar in the general terms you described, in the interest of time we won't into that much detail just yet, point being it struck me as I can definitely relate.

I agree we are not the problem. But it is also our responsibility not to let the problem become our problem. I am blessed to have cushy work from home job where im revered as an expert and provide meaning day to day, however the company is far from perfect and many people with the same job as me spend all day complaining and whining about how hard their life is because of this job. Its not. They are the problem. They create their own problems. They love problems. Agent Smiths. Avoid them like the plague.

Once in a while, along the narrow path, you will encounter beings who share this with you and constructive and positive communication becomes elementary to both your presences.

You will wonder why you even spend more than a minute talking to normies daily.

"You can be alone in the universe, or you can be alone AS the universe."

I am sure you are not one of them and your job is unfair.

But with your will and courage and everything you have been through it is completely within your reach to change that situation. Maybe not within days or weeks, but it is within your reach. I am sure I should be reminding myself of this one day in the future when I have a job that treats me unfairly.

The earth has split, the eclipse has passed. Know your worth and that something is different now. You have already won.

This is pure wisdom at its best!!!

My job is terribly unfair, not as in like...uh... hmmm....

I work, literally, pacifying our elderly, over the phone, when they call rightfully angry or upset because the Medicare insurance company I work for denied or delayed their access to medical benefits.

I have to talk people off the ledge too frequently. Stay on the line, never hang up even when they may be screaming off the top of their lungs.

I struggle because I am the kind of person that truly wants to help, especially because of my background and my experience. But I struggle with my own health. I can't drive anymore, so I too work from home and this the one job I could find.

Before that, I used to work in State and County governments. Not the best places for a true bitcoiner & nostrich at heart, but I actually DID help people then.

I keep searching, just in case I find something that wouldn't abuse me as much. Some of my callers , the nicer ones are the ones I have trouble with. I don't want them to be in the pain they're in.

My pay is half what used to be at my job prior.

But... there is big BUT.

I am very hopeful because I am extremely imaginative.

I see and imagine a lot of things in mind's eye. So I draw.

It may take me a long time, but I want to go from here↓↓

to here↓↓

Yes, that's quite "Fantastic" looking, but imagination can be that way.

I am hungry, people are hungry for beauty and optimism.

I have the worst job when it comes to optimism.

But I am not going to let that define me.

My job doesn't entail me saving anyones life and often feels meaningless, robotic, data driven and mundane.

I take opportunities where I can do brighten peoples lives.

I have stepped in to escalate someone who I thought was about to commit suicide and they remember and appreciate it to this day (not why I did it).

At the end of the day I feel like i work at the Pennsylvanian paper company but knowing I can spread light and positivity to those living in dark places is the soul food that keeps me alive and beating the system.

Stack sats and chill.

It makes a world of difference to the one... all it takes is one!!!
