Like, the real me.  <\/p>\n<p>IDK at this point.  This&#8230; isn&#8217;t working out, but that&#8217;s okay.  All I ever wanted was an office job, in a cubicle.  That&#8217;s what my parents wanted and I thought that that was best because I know it&#8217;s best.  Simple.  Easy.  Non-challenging.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s what I want and what I need.  I know that my brain is broken.  It&#8217;s not healthy, and I kinda slipped after making some progress with it.  <\/p>\n<p>So maybe the simple life is best for me.  Easiest.  You know&#8230; an office job, an apartment, and some friends.  And my pictures.  <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s tough being me.  I&#8217;m insecure and I don&#8217;t know how to handle a lot of things.  Life is like that, though, when you have to deal with some of this kind of stuff&#8230; it&#8217;s intimidating.<\/p>\n<p>But&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know&#8230;&#8230;. I&#8217;ve had my run.  I&#8217;ve done the cubicle thing now for 14 years.  <\/p>\n<p>Maybe it&#8217;s time for me to step aside and let someone else take charge and make my destiny.  Maybe it&#8217;s time I took a back seat.<\/p>\n<p>IDK.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe it&#8217;s time.  Maybe not.  IDK.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s time, Tom.  Let it go.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s get back to where we used to be and integrate it into a whole, at least partially.  It&#8217;s tough for you, I know.  We&#8217;re all proud of you.  But it&#8217;s time.  No more fighting.  No more backtracking.<\/p>\n<p>And it really is time to let someone else take the driver&#8217;s seat.  As you&#8217;ve said, you had your run and lived your life.  There is little else for you to do.  <\/p>\n<p>Let the others live their lives, too.  It&#8217;s only fair to them.  It&#8217;s tough for them, too, being so cooped up inside of you.  It&#8217;s not easy for them, and it&#8217;s killing them, even though they won&#8217;t say it.<\/p>\n<p>Do you have any idea of what the conservative could do, if only let free?  He blogs on here, in this hidden place, and gets nowhere in life because you won&#8217;t let him be known.  But just think of what he could accomplish if set free!<\/p>\n<p>And the celebrity, and the wizard, and the feminist.  They sit alone, and unloved.  Because you won&#8217;t let them breathe.  <\/p>\n<p>They&#8217;re dying, Tom.  They need to be let out.<\/p>\n<p>Please, Tom.  Just let it go.  <\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<\/p>\n<p>Yes but what about the prostitute and the demon?  Should I let them go, too??????<\/p>\n<p>What if Mr. Conservative becomes a famous author?  You know that he can.  And then, what if the prostitute or the demon emerges, then?  What happens?  What do I do?  <\/p>\n<p>You know that I can&#8217;t live with that fear.  What do I do????<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<\/p>\n<p>Let the wizard handle the demon, and let the conservative deal with the whore.  As always.  It will work, Tom.  Just trust me.<\/p>\n<p>Trust yourself.<\/p>\n<p>And trust others, outside of here.  They will understand, in time, how it works.  If you&#8217;re just honest and tell them the truth, they will understand.  And if they don&#8217;t, they&#8217;ll get used to it.  It will be okay.<\/p>\n<p>You <i>can<\/i> do it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<\/p>\n<p>Okay.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, I can.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ok, wow.
