Nor-fuckin-mal...

My moral compass has been out of order for quite some time. I think the only thing keeping me from going down a truly horrible path is my blind faith that there is a reason I should try to be good at some level. Let me tell you, it's no god damned walk in the park.

It seems that there is a monster at my back, breathing ever so lightly on my neck whispering in my ear "just let it happen..." When it's all said and done I can't quite come to terms with something that should be so wrong, feels so right. In a twisted way, I think my acceptance of these facts and my openness to damn near anything you can throw at me is what scares people away. And my silence doesn't seem to help my cause either.

I'm scared right now. This is a fairly dry chapter in my life and I feel it must change. I don't know how or when I can make that happen. Instead of having that ominous creature known as 'life' at my back all the time, I would really like to turn around, grab it by it's throat and fuck the dog-shit out of it. If I do this however, I'm pretty confident that there isn't going to be anyone standing by my side, let alone anyone be OK with it in general. I must take baby steps. Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast.

We aren't here for long so we may as well have some compassion for those around us and not ignore what we know to be true in our hearts. For some, we just want to be really fucking good at our trade or maybe simply be a good person for family. Maybe some people want to live a more reserved life while someone else wants to snort cocaine off a hooker's ass. Either way, why don't we all just do it and not worry about the end state. There will be people who are not OK with any of your choices. In fact there will be people unhappy with your choices in life simply for the fact that they are your choices and not theirs.

I don't quite know how to responsibly break out of my normal-ness right now and still maintain what little credibility I've managed to restore. Maybe I'll just sit quietly and see who comes around. I'm tired of trying to be the one who comes around for others when all they really want is... Normal...
