sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.
Sometimes I fantasize about disappearing.
Not dying.
Just logging off.
Getting a job no one cares about.
Growing tomatoes.
Writing poems in the margins of a notebook no one reads.
Not as a failure.
But as a kind of freedom.

Best mental reset I’ve learned:
If your mind is loud — Write.
If your mind is empty — Read.
If your mind is racing — Walk.
If your mind is tired — Sleep.
If your mind is sharp — Build.

Am I right?
America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

One day, you'll realize that no one was really watching, and you could have done whatever you wanted.
I just hope you don't figure it out too late.
Oh, Mona - federal agencies are not part of the executive branch because they are staffed by libtard Ph.D.s who have actual expertise in facts. We can't have that.
Conservatives aren't worried about the people with Ph.D.s. They're worried about the political appointees, whose "expert opinions" on the law change, depending on what party is in control.
And an example would be? To be clear, my comment was intended as tongue-in-cheek; I don't condone agency misbehavior, whether by careerists or political appointees.
Example: The courts consistently rejected the Obama Education Department's Title IX interpretations, embodied in the infamous "Dear colleague" letter. Betsy DeVos went through the formal regulatory process to implement new interpretations that were consistent with the court rulings. The Biden administration recently reverted to something similar to the old, illegal Obama interpretations.
Fair point - overreach does not produce good policy, regardless of ideology or motivation. But do you seriously think a Biden presidency presents a more and present danger than a Trump one?
The White House can purge transcripts and try to keep Trump on the golf course, but when the president has to give a speech like his commencement address at West Point, his decline is obvious.
