My Whale

Hello,

My name is Daniel, and the real me has something to tell you.

I fucking hate the way life has developed for humans on this planet. The only important things now are jobs, money, and public persona. Fuck all of that. I hate them all.

I feel so deeply for my life. Many label me a sensitive bitch, and I probably am. But I don’t care anymore. I am done hiding any part of myself. I cry often. I love people. I overshare. I am moved by the simplest acts of kindness. And my emotions flow freely through my being, to my mind, and off of my tongue. I am finished with letting my life be a lie. I owe it to myself. We all do.

Don’t make tons of money? It is ok.

Made mistakes in your life? It is ok.

Can’t be a pretender and roll on down with everyone else? It is ok.

Been labeled lazy, crazy, or a weirdo? It is ok.

I think we all need to hear that it is ok to be uncommon. Never feel alienated for who you are. Feel liberated.

I just want to be awake, and love all that comes in and out of my life. It motivates me so much to keep searching for anyone who is still in touch with their true selves and not blinded by all the absolute bullshit we’ve been brainwashed into swallowing. That’s all life has become for almost all of us. Bullshit. For christ’s sake, we can’t even be honest with each other in private anymore.

If anyone ever reads this, I beg of you, make a promise to me and yourself to at least try to be conscious of the great opportunity you have to be unique. To be a singular you in the ever-expanding universe. This world needs us now more than ever. To bring some sort of color to this greyscale. For god’s sake, please just be yourself. Let everyone write you off if they want to. We’re all en route to the same final destination anyway.

When we all eventually lay upon our deathbeds, I promise you this. Not a single one of us will wish we made more money, owned more things, or pretended harder to fake. Please just think about it for a few seconds. When you’re dying, what will your final thoughts be? Who will be standing around you? How did you impact their lives?

These types of thoughts aren’t just entertainment topics we occasionally come across at the movies, or in fantasy. They are real. Don’t go numb. You are such a special anomaly in this infinite expanse. No matter what you have convinced yourself of. I am still holding out for the day I meet someone who is also awake and ecstatic to play a starring role in my story. And in the meantime, I am going to do my best to welcome the many beauties of life. So that when I die, I can be honest with myself.

My only goal in this lifetime is to greet death, knowing that I helped as many others as possible to become their true selves. To have the courage to stand proudly alongside their flaws, mistakes, and truths. To not be afraid of sticking out. It’s all we have.

Just take a step back and analyze yourself. Be pleasant. Authentic. And bring no harm to others.

Thank you for visiting. I honestly, from the most tender and sensitive regions of my heart, love you all and wish you the best.

Daniel
