More than a marketing demographic.  You have critical thought.  You’re unpredictable.  You embody a spectrum of rich and complex characteristics.  You cannot be simplified.  You cannot be manipulated to buy a bunch of crap.  You’re not a toddler who needs a binky.

Pages from my old fanzine remind me that I was angry, woke, righteous and a really bad speller.  I am still… all of those things… but I am also a lot more now.  It’s nice to see the old me and not think she was a total idiot.  And not be an idiot now, despite “society.”  

Angry, woke, righteous and a bad speller.. but smiled a lot.

Your behavior does not serve a single purpose.  You synthesize and create and deliver it to those who deserve it.  Experiential collage, layers of things they can’t find an algorithm for.  They never will, I hope.  Keep yourself you, despite their efforts.  

Express yourself without fear.  Your realness is a weapon.  Remind yourself and others that a person can be a wellspring of infinite wonder.  That your mind and heart is too sharp to fit in their neat cutlery drawer.  And never give away a cursive typewriter. So this went off topic just a bit as sometimes we just can’t help our neurotransmissions.  That is what is so wonderful about us.  At any given moment we are within simultaneous and often contradictory mindsets bolstered by a tremendous quantity of ideas, feelings and information.  How this translate to our choices and, on a grander scale, the paths we choose is not fodder for marketers.

P.S.A.: Be fluent in you; remember and honor all your pieces.  Being okay with yourself is a vaccination for a whole host of affronts.
