a second urgent note to the reader

listen, if youre offended by this blog, if you dont like what you read here, if you find it mean or intimidating or just not funny, dont read it.

this is the internet. see that bar at the top of your screen? go up there and type in literally anything. seriously.

the shit i type on here, dear, sweet reader, has little to do with reality. its an outlet for the shit that runs through my head.
you have no idea what the voices in my head sound like, and they never fucking shut up. i was a goddamn junkie for YEARS trying to shut them up. they belong on the internet, because the internet is where crazy people live. i need to make my crazy public because i dont believe in secrets. maybe writing down your every evil thought in a locked diary that you keep tucked beneath the floorboards under your bed works for you, but i cant do that. my thoughts are not a dirty secret that im ashamed of.

privacy doesnt exist. accept that, then embrace it. put it all out there. the private journal is for the man afraid to show his face. i am not afraid of my own thoughts and im certainly not afraid to publish them.

so, please, i beg you, if you dont like it, dont read it. i have no idea why you are reading. this is not for you. its for me. its completely selfish.

if, for some unfathomable reason youd like to respond to what ive said here, respond to it in the comments section. not to the me that walks around. the me that you interact with in life barely remembers the mental vomit that ends up splashed on this blog. thats why i put it here.

if youre still here, and please, please, please stop reading, but if youre still here ill direct you to my first urgent note to the reader. it explains the importance of publishing what you believe ought to be kept private.
