@N00bPancakes lol yeah. Wouldn't let me post for some reason. Probably *too* random, or maybe keywords triggered a spam filter.
I'd love a more coherent warning than "something went wrong" when you try to post something that the system is blocking, but what can you do?
Same thing happened on hastebin.
Some of my writing contains what might be described as controversial phrases/words and can be lurid at times so I assume thats why it gets blocked.
If it wasn't, then it wouldn't be worth saying or writing. -
@Root Lol yeah I'm a little predictable. I hope you and others enjoyed it, even if it's just pretty sophistry at the end of the day.

@Ranchonyx honest words are often surprising. Occasionally dropping the clown act and being real is good, which I try to be. I think a lot of people can relate.
It covers a lot of cross sections because I feel like I've been in the middle of everything most of my life. 1/8th hispanic, 1/8th sephardic, mom WAS catholic, five stepdads, two dozen 'home' states.
You grow up like this and everywhere feels like a greyhound bus station after midnight: going somewhere, but you don't know where. Like a little island of light in the middle of the desert, its own disconnected world.
You end up belonging to everything, everywhere, everyone--and nothing, nowhere, and no-one.
I've known alcoholics, cartel members, moonshiners, met astronauts, and hobnobbed with both rich people and hobos.
The one thing you realize is the absolute alienness of others lives, how different their experiences are. And the other thing you realize is how fundamentally...the same our faults and wants are.

This isn't a devrant post really, more like "adjacent to the societal void that all brings us here".
Anyway. This is for you.
"Fraud" or "Addiction"
Lies are like addiction.
We lie to ourselves.
We lie to each other.
Why can't we just be honest.
Why can't we not be honest?;
I don't need it.
I don't need it.
I WANT it.
But I don't want how it makes me feel.
