You should tell society exactly where to fuck off.

You should tell society exactly where to fuck off.

You know, although my Dad was a complete idiot, one thing that I really admired about him is that he lived the life he always wanted to live.

I mean, perhaps he should have had more protection, or the snip when before he took the plunge and had me.

I was the accident that he didn’t mean to have, after all Dad always thought Mum was sleeping with another man.

He thought I was his,

People judge each other by their own perceptions, right?

But despite me, Dad always had three women on the go, as much alcohol as one could muster and a bank roll to provide for his addictions.

Even at the end when I was holding his hand and making my peace with him, no matter what I said he always said he had a good life.

And I guess in his mind he was right,

He did.

It was what he wanted to do.

There were counsellors that told me that he lived a sad an unhappy life but I disagree. Until a point, he loved his life,

And he died young, but he always said that to me,

“I’ll die young, Son. Have a party when I’m gone”

So he was a man that lived life by his rules. It’s where he wanted to be, and, he died lonely, with no-one that really loved him around,

But that was his choice, and he lived with it.

So aside from that sombre note, if you’re happy with life, then that’s fine.

You don’t need me, a psychiatrist, a psychologist or who the fuck else to tell you that you’re not fitting in to societies neat little perfectionism box. And it’s narrow criteria! Trust me.

Me? I was always unhappy with my life. I wasn’t happy doing any of the things that I was doing,

I always thought the life I was living was someone else’s,

Turns out I was totally right, and when I learned to strive for something better, something better happened.

But then I’ve met so many people from society that are just trying to fit in somehow,

Women not wanting kids but feeling they should do because their parents say so,

Men just wanting to relax and chill but can’t because society tells them that they must work to provide,

Fuck ‘em, I say.

You do what YOU want to do, and YOU be happy.

Hell, if you really wanted to do so you could go and live off the land.

You don’t need ANYONE to tell you how to live your life, and anyone that does this is projecting their fears and anxiety onto you,

Shed that shit,

Take control of your life back,

And own yourself!!

Be awesome!

Peace, brothers and sisters :)
