making you think you're crazy is a billion dollar industry

whenever you're feeling odd or out of place or the world's got you thinking there's something wrong with you, just remember that there's a whole lot of people that make a whole lot of money off of that notion. the more people feel like they don't fit in to the point that they seek some kind of help, guidance, or material possession for it, the richer some people get. they're selling you your own inadequacies for their own personal gain.

so fuck 'em over and be weird or odd or strange or whatever you are. just be you. don't let them furnish homes off your insecurities. it's not you that's out of place. it's this idea of a mythical place that all these companies try to build in your head to make you feel like you don't belong. it's not real. the only thing you don't fit into is their illusion. it's a scam.

look, you might be crazy. maybe all human beings are crazy. we're a crazy fucking species. there's no reason to feel like you're the only one who's feeling like that. if we all just stopped for a second and realized that feeling out of place is a pretty common feeling, maybe we could break out of this molding that they've tried to keep us inside of with advertising, drugs, and manipulation.

drugs and dressing like everyone else and self help books on how to fit in will not make you normal. it'll make you less you. it'll rob you of whatever it is that makes you unique, makes you awesome. they don't want to fix you. they don't care about your self esteem or your well being. all they care about is your money. they're wrong about you and hopefully one day we'll all understand that and watch as their castles made of sand crumble.
