  • - 9tb: an honest manifesto. -

    I want to be free of people.

    I want to let go of everyone in my life who doesn't care about my wellbeing.

    I want the strength to endure the ones striving for my end.

    I want to embrace the ones who rejuvenate and help me continue walking this path.

    I want to shine my light, regardless of how blue; it's still a light that can lead someone out of the darkness.

    I want some kind of offgrid camper so I can be completely to myself and no longer have to endure toxic, closed minded, misguided assholes... or maybe to stop being one myself.

    I want to dedicate my efforts towards realizing my potential, fulfilling my aspirations, and returning everyone back to themselves.

    Because for some reason, regardless of how alone I want to be, or how alone this world's made me feel  

    I still feel the need to play my part in bringing about a better one, so we can all stop suffering senselessly.

    I believe it can only come about when each of us returns back to ourselves, back to our true nature.

    I believe healing and growth on the deepest level comes about when we cleanse ourselves of societal  nonsense.

    But society is constantly overwriting our nature, distracting us from ourselves

    misguiding and filling us with fear, sickness, and greed

    setting the majority on fire, just to keep a few warm...

    This has to end.

    I want to be the change that brings about nothing.

    I want to be the one who doesn't have to be at all.

    I want my obscurity to paint the clearest picture possible, because

    true nature can only be described, never defined

    because all nature stems from the truest nature.

    This is a hard realization to come to, because

    when we lose ourselves inside of ourselves

    a different self comes about.  

    An obscured self, that  

    even though potentially a drastic expression of held insides, is

    ourselves nonetheless.

    Understanding, processing, and releasing obscured self

    is how we return back to true self.

    I am the Tazmanian Bluejay.

    This is my truth, my goal, and my manifesto.

    This is me, calling out to you.

    If you burn with the same flame, please recognize and nurture

    your own heat

    your own heart

    your own gifts

    your own truths

    your self.
