I have thought about trying to plan what I’m going to say in these entries. But every time I feel like writing, I am busy pursuing something else. And then I lose the passion to truly embark on something thought out. So I end up just opening a new entry and going. Which I think is kind of the point? I’m actually not sure what the point of this all is. I’m getting a bit existential I fear. Feeling real Sisyphussian rn. I do think that the thoughts I do end up writing about are worthwhile to write about. No one really cares what anyone has to say on anything. So I can just shout to nebulous void almost any thought I have and (so long as I don’t hurt/offend anyone in the process) experience no consequences.

One of the things I do end up disliking of this modern age is that people care way too much about what anyone else has to say about anything (myself very much included). Celebrities have always existed and will continue to exist, but can we really start to examine why we care so much about Beyonce having any opinion on the working class? I understand that voices and leaders are important to any movement worthwhile. But can we really trust Beyonce, the multi-millionaire recording artist who rented out the Lourve for a music video, to have a succinct opinion on the working class girlies? Is this truly who we look toward for guidance? Probably not, but I think this kind of thinking can be a bit too weird. Cause at the end of the day, Beyonce is just one human being. Nothing more, nothing less.

It is kind of funny, I did start this blog heavily inspired by Raynecorp on TikTok. But she has her failings at times, and I don’t feel the need to lose my shit if she drops a take I don’t agree with. I just think, “hmm, oh well.” and move on with my day. Deifying any human being comes with so many traps and negative effects that it isn’t worth it to even try. This idea that someone’s thoughts should be a comment-able, discourse-able thing (again, unless they genuinely hurt/offend someone) is a reality I am not comfortable living with any more. I have grown tired of comments and discourse with every goddamn thing that comes up. It’s not healthy for us as humans.

Anyway, we should really only deify one thing on this planet earth and that’s Paddington Bear.
