Inner Dialogue - Tumblr Posts
“This is harder than it first appears: Try in thine own experience, each; that ye speak not for one whole day unkindly of any; that ye say not a harsh word to any, about any; and see what [such] a day would bring to you . . .”
—Edgar Cayce
“If you get the inside right, the outside will fall into place. Primary reality is within; secondary reality without.”
—Eckhart Tolle
“I cannot always control what goes on outside. But I can always control what goes on inside.”
—Wayne Dyer
“You do indeed have a past, but not now! And, yes, you have a future, but not now! You can consume your now with thoughts of 'then' and 'maybe,' but that will keep you from the inner peace you could experience.”
—Wayne Dyer
Me: What kind of women do you think he likes?
You: One that has her life together.
Me: So probably not me then.
You: Porbably not.

The things I want to tell my family:
“You should go back to school so you can get a better job”
Dafuq? So how will I pay for school? What about the loans that I STILL have to pay off? Shut up!
“Apply for a better job”
And still have to deal with people? No. I’ll go to jail once and for all.
“But don’t you have to deal with people in the arts?”
I don’t have to see their faces, and the only people I like are artists and art fans.
“But art doesn’t pay”
YET. Art doesn’t pay YET. Also, it’s because of y’all cheap mofos that think we get support. Uh, no mofo, art fans pay for our work because they BELIEVE in us.
“I’ll support you when you get a better job”
Pffftt lol!!!!! You think that’ll move me? Nope. Honey boo child, you’re not the only one that doesn’t support artists. There are 7 BILLION PEOPLE on this planet. I just need 2 to get it poppin’.
“But family comes first”
But you ain’t saying that about me, now are you? You said family comes first, so why not help me out then? Read my stuff, listen, watch, anything.
“You’re asking for too much”
You’re acting like I’m asking for diamonds and pearls, when all I need are your eyes and ears. Is that really a chore? Pffft boo bye!
“What about us?”
What about you?
“But you have a college degree”
So do hundreds of thousands of people, and they either end up doing something they didn’t study for, or didn’t get the job they wanted. I’m not spending thousands of dollars for another sheet of paper.
“But I have a degree”
Then why do you rent property? I thought your job was set? Not getting enough? Hmm, gee I wonder why🙄
“Why are you so snarky?”
Why are you asking me all these questions? Where were you after all this time? You finally notice that I exist? Wow! I’m not invisible anymore!!
“Whatever, I give up on you”
I didn’t even know you tried.
“But you’re getting older”
The man from KFC was almost 50 when he started. I’m 5 months shy of turning the same age as Jeff Bezos when he started Amazon. AGE IS NOTHING BUT A NUMBER.
“But what will people think?”
Well I’m not for everyone, so...
“Can you please do something else?”
Can you please shut up?
“Stop being so rude”
Stop talking, then
“What’s wrong with you?”
Childhood trauma, anxiety, and vitamin D deficiency. Any more questions?
“But—”
BYE!
