A Rational Person’s Meltdown
Coming from someone who’s always considered herself a rational person,
I’ve lately been asking a question I don’t love admitting out loud:
“Am I losing my mind?”
All I did was glance at the clock.
16:16.
Cute.
Next thing you know,
11:11, 13:13, 14:41.
“TRANSFORMATION”
Apparently, the universe now texts in angel numbers.
And listen, the human brain?
Yeah, it’s cute too.
The Human brain is so complicated that can alter reality sometimes that it can play games with you.
I urgently suggest you to read the book “The Brain” by David Eaglemann.
But, I will be honest that being rationalist is not an easy job. It needs motivation,dedication, discipline and good coping mechanism for the “ugly face of the reality and life”.
Recently, I enjoy being delusional. It’s like self-care but with glitter.
“The Anxiety”
Our grasp on “common sense” has weakened these days. The rise of AI and propaganda’s on social media contribute to this. Mystical explanations for unknown incidents abound. Conspiracy theories are also on the rise. We cooked.
Gaza.
Congo.
Dictatorships.
Imperialism.
A few thousand years of power-hungry bloodlust.
We are the casserole of human suffering.
– We cooked?
Well, WE HAVE BEEN COOKING MY HONEY.
Anyway, the list is long.
They called “religion” for their fascist acts and agenda. More than cooked we are, my dear.
“Perceiving Reality”
I do believe in unity or being as a whole in this world. This holds true even if we are all AI or in the Matrix or are energy or more spiritual beings.
And I know that we all perceive the reality different.
Is your meaning of “Red” same with my meaning of “Red.” Did you ever see the Red color directly from my eyes? Projections… Is my projections align with your projections?
“Distractions”
We are spiritual beings.
Meanwhile…
Some are locked in immigration detention.
Some are starving.
Some are being bombed.
But hey,
“Change your mind.”
Do some yoga.
Meditate.
Ignore the blood and ashes.
Let it go.
Turn your back to suffering and you’ll be…
Free!
“The Anxiety Free”
It’s like smelling the same coffee you drink every morning but noticing its scent for the first time.
It’s standing by the sea, the Mediterranean warm winds in your face, and actually feeling to be free. Who gives a f*ck of the starving kids while you can perceive your reality like a fairy tale.
“The Lie”
We all have the potential to fall for propaganda now.
I don’t blame anyone. Its tough times and we need to lighten up or reassure that there is nothing we can do. Numb yourself.
“Vicdansiz” meaning in Turkish:
Hard hearted / Cold-blooded
“The Reality”
If there’s a god,
Honey, you’re it.
You’re the WiFi password to the collective consciousness.
So get up.
Get organized.
Protest.
Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
Because yes, this world is reality,
for those living in war,
facing oppression,
losing everything
while you refresh your feed.
And history?
She’s messy.
But she listens when we scream.
Ask France.
We are the myth, the machine, and the miracle;
choose your side.
