I Need a Change

Things are starting to hurt again. My life is not meant to be this way. I have tried over and over to "advance" myself, the opportunities have presented themselves, I've worked hard and accomplished a lot. But the "higher I climb", the harder it is to breathe. Everything I've earned is measured and scrutinized and watched. I don't quite understand my issues yet. It's very obvious however, that anything you can earn in this life can easily become obsolete. Like a fart in the wind. With a spark, with weathering, with a tiny little perception... All that's left are your core values. The human part. And I don't think many humans value what they should. Yet the weight of the world shifts every time the masses move. One minute you're hot shit, the next you're just shit. And if you can't preform everyday for them, little monkey in a cage, you lose all your appeal. Lose your appeal, you're nothing to them.

Well fine. I'm nuthin. Good.

I can't play games anymore. Even being on here, people tell you you're a friend but if you don't agree on everything or keep up with their needs, you stop communicating. It's too much negativity everywhere.

My Mom is dying and chose to stick up for her narcissistic, rude, mooch of a husband while he was laying in to me about being wrong on something I had researched and was sure of. She'll die in her bed alone soon and I won't be there. She always chose to pamper her dependent whims. I choose my health. And mostly, my son and our happiness.

I can't stay here anymore and I can't live like this. I don't want to feel worthless and angry and that's up to me. I can easily remove myself from everyone's life. No one would even miss me. But I'm still not worthless.
I wrote this piece last year. I hope it helps you understand what you're experiencing. Keep your humanity. Your health IS YOUR WEALTH.


The people of the world are neutered nations. Its humanity has been domesticated. All of the issues that we as humans face derive from this one simple ideal. We have been domesticated as a whole and live in a multitude of virtual farms. Imagine what happens to the goldfish you have been raising in his comfy little bowl for years when you put him into an open lake? Some pets manage to run away for periods of time but the vast majority of them find their way back home, desperate to receive any part of the amenities they left behind for their brief stint at freedom. We are inside the most sophisticated prison ever conceived. A flick of a switch and the electricity which is central to western lives can be prevented from powering our home. Another switch and the town or city could be shut down. Another switch and the nation goes black. The hands on the switches maybe other pets doing there job, but they will do what they are told for fear that the hand above their own will turn off the switch that powers there lives. Thousands of these switches are in place to control us. Food is a major one water is another. Shelter and the basics to allow a shelter to be more than a cardboard box is the third mandatory one. Of course the dependency on medications such as caffeine sugar nicotine fast food elicit drugs alcohol pornography television the Internet communication and a plethora of other useful and not so useful things are in place to give meaning to our fishbowl lives. Just like our escapee pets we have little too no ability to even comprehend never mind exist for any extended period of time outside of our little cages, and will inevitably return once the reality of our freedom becomes apparent. The more adventurous of our species pretends periodically during the height of the appropriate season of course, that we yet retain the semblance of our cultural heritage and braves the wild in the annual or semi annual camping trip. The trip begins by getting permission first from a handler, with hopes and carefully constructed memories which are worn down by the actuality until nothing resides in our minds but the eventual call of our cage beckoning us back to the simplicity we are enslaved too. Imagine that same camping trip with none of the things we cannot exist without. Reducing our requirements to the basics of food water and shelter, as miserable an existence that would be for most of us. Still our food and water are provided in our pet food dishes known as groceries stores. All dependent on the generosity of our masters. Of course these things are provided for a cost, which we purchase with our debit cards. Everything we need is directly tied to these debit cards which we get through performing tasks for our masters. So in these we find yet another switch to turn everything off. 100 years ago people were much better prepared to survive and it still took a heavy toll on them. The last hundred years have been the period during which everything in life has escalated and developed to the state we have today. A person from 100 years ago would feel like they were living on another planet if they arrived here now. The skills they had are virtually obsolete today and sadly they are the exact skills that were developed for millenia. We have never been more enslaved then we are today and our masters no this. The slightest pressure on any portion of our infrastructure quickly reasserts our total dependency. Just the smallest nudge is so uncomfortable and carries the promise of this dystopia so thoroughly that regardless of the perception we develop of our cage and prisons we objectively return to them to face the punishment for disobedience. This is the state of humanity today. It is the most noble of ideals to desire freedom, sadly the majority would be killed by it long before they could reacquire the ability to truly live it. Bravado on the internet makes it appear as though the masses will tear down the doors and walls of their oppressive prisons. But, the reality of it all is that we built them and would rebuild them even if the price we paid for returning was the lives of our own children. Just to huddle together in our broken world's knowing we were permanently enslaved. The true prison is in our minds and the key is out of reach for most. We sold it to build our "safe place". It takes what seems like an eternity to find the keys to our vehicle when they are lost. Imagine how difficult the quest for something that only existed in our minds.

@RenaissanceMan I feel the walls around me but I can break them. It's a flimsy cage, isn't it? Truly? Mostly it requires strength of the mind.

Thank you for sharing this my friend. It gives me visual. I always wonder how so many can't see it. Choose to live in it.

I feel beaten up on the inside. I can't take the cage anymore. It's felt wrong my whole life! Seeing my son lock his own cage is helping me understand I need to make the change NOW.

Thank you 🖤
@StokedFox You're welcome. If I can help in some way, let me know.🌞
Yes, it's all in the mind. The awakening is jolting! Once you take the red pill the matrix is exposed. Stay on your path.

Namaste 🌷

That was the most honest post I ever had a chance to read here .Its Do true this is life.Im glad You choose yourself & the love one whoyou care for .It will not be easy at all but I wish you better days .I hope I can have such a courage to take my life in my hand leaving all those who don't care behind my back .Hang in there 💞
I want to elaborate further:
Part of what's happening to you is a spiritual Awakening. It hurts sometimes and also causes confusion with people around you. So-called friends and aquaintances fall away. Again...it can hurt us emotionally and mentally, but that's ok. Self preservation and loving yourself is priority. Humans don't realize that our teachings were not designed to educate, only indoctrinate. To be used as a human resource and to be consumers. Many are under the ILLUSION that technology is a gauge to measure our level of civilization. That is false in essence. For everything technology gives us, it takes twice as much away! You should spend time in nature. It has the answers you seek.

We will build them cities and they will have the freedom to leave work and go home, but return to work for us every morning for most of their lives, yet they will own nothing. We will. (The Banks).
