Method to My Madness

My brother recently asked me, “What the hell are you doing?”

I laughed, smiled, shook my head and cried.

Okay, maybe I didn’t cry, but I begun to think all the weird sh*t I do is a waste of time because nobody understands the messages behind it.

Then I thought, “Well, my brother isn’t God. Maybe somebody gets it.”

In case you are wondering, believe it or not, everything I do or say stands before reason...almost everything.

We all revolve around the same sun; our actions, nearly identical, follow together in a pattern influenced by the same light and corresponding darkness. We may not be exact, but our choices and emotions are damn close. We are amongst, as we are one, advocates of evil happiness and sad sadness. As for everything in between, we hide. As a result, it makes us miserable internally, often causing realms of hatred.

Upon few discoveries, I decided to hack my own emotions.

All things, from evolution to the well-being of existing matter, are directly correlated with human action and behavior which is developed largely from the ability to feel. As humans, we have profound capabilities to move, think, influence, change and completely redirect the course of Nature. Needless to say, we are full of tools, resources and unlimited potential.

The problem is we, as people, fear the act of expressing emotions freely. I understand the vulnerability and ridicule, but I'm also aware of the individual and communal benefits from self-expression.

Our silence, lack of enthusiasm, energy and expression as a whole contributes a great deal to the dividing of communities, egotistical behaviors, repeated negligence, and at large, the theft of our natural born rights. We are on the verge of paralysis if we don't act.

So, I've decided to stand up for my own beliefs and take action into my own hands.

Where do I begin?

First and foremost, I must break all bad habits. In order to do so, I mustn’t be like everyone else. I shall create my own culture- one that I will always stand for.

“I cannot guarantee I will not break the rules if that's where my limits lie.”

Please understand, I am not doing this in spite of or to disrespect anyone.

Beginning with the basics: Motion and Sound.

I refurbish my senses with meaning; my hands, feet, arms and legs are provided the strength and ability to give.  My eyes-to vision, mouth-to speak and ears-to listen.

I will speak louder, see wider, smile harder and breathe deeper! Because in any moment of feeling doubt, panic, sadness, fear, broken or at all unspoken, I better respond accordingly.

No need to fright next time you see me acting a funny fool. It’s just me being me trying to get you to be you. None of us deserve to surrender our strengths unto the very weakness we are summoned to bow before created by the belittled expectations of modern-day society. We are better than that!

Want to help redirect the course of our nature? Consider these:

Energy- It is a powerful resource as is any other of its kind whether electrical, sexual, spiritual or vocal. You may need to mine the caves deep in your heart and mind for this treasure.

Enthusiasm- This as the transfer of energy which is shared with new encounters and those around you. You’ll quickly notice how contagious it is.

Excitement- The result: a revival smile from both parties. It is a win/win. Don’t expect others to bring the excitement or assistance. It’s easy to leave it behind if feeling upset or down. Like I said, dig deep and with purpose.

As members of this planet, it is our right to feel alive even if that means we need to come back from the walking dead.

If you have any questions, you know where to find me. Thank You, and Good luck! -Son of Mark
