“Fuck it” My New Mantra: Is This Worth My Peace?

Why do some people think vulnerability is a sign of weakness?

I need to do a little, well, a lot o’ ranting about my new “fuck it” mentality. Purple soapbox time. About feelings, being responsible for our feelings, and acorn heads taking advantage of my human beings’ vulnerability.

On the real, I’m real tired of the vulnerability vultures. Shoo away from people I love, vulnerability vultures. This is old shit I’m processing, new shit I’m processing.

This is also about releasing your pain, so it isn’t sprayed all over, intentionally and unintentionally, on people who didn’t hurt you to begin with.

I am a writer, so I write.

Please bare with me. I hope there is something in here that may help you today. It helped me, getting it out. Thank you for being you, real ones. You are my heroes and my inspiration, everyday.

I promise I will write my best, and polish this, the best I can. And whenever I write. My intention behind my words is always love. Perhaps some pissed off bitch pot Jenny, but I write this with peace and passion.

I will probably invest hours and hours in doing so with just this piece, as I do. (Yup, I have.) And will probably not result in any financial gain…
