Journal Stuff

“Sharing” the ideas and narratives that make us who we are (digitally and socially), stories that have cultivated our character and resolve, and ways we have taken to get this far along the journey is a privilege that belongs solely to our descendants—preferrably in written form.Do not be easily bought, giving away the gold and pearls of your narrative in exchange for “a platform” and money. This society will have you thinking that your opening yourself up and sharing everything by becoming “transparent” and “vulnerable” makes you more human or whatever.No.If you’re transparent your vital organs (and your womb, eggs) are exposed. And you cannot say “No weapon formed against me...” if you play into being transparent and vulnerable as a lifestyle, showing those weapons precisely where to aim. Let us not be played.

In our stories and ideas and narratives are the keys to restart humanity, create and cultivate cultures, and blueprints for a new day. I don’t care how trendy or how high the bid gets for “authentic stories”, you keep your stuff. Generation stuff. Future stuff. Journal stuff.
