You are responsible for your own shit.
... but, but,
... my demanding job, the deadline, the lack of support,
... the lack of appreciation.
You are responsible for your own shit.
... but I didn’t ask for this,
... I didn’t sign-up for this.
You are responsible for your own shit.
... but I’m not ready,
... I’m too tired, exhausted, burned out,
... I’m a mess and not coping.
You are responsible for your own shit.
... but nobody told me,
... I didn’t know.
You are responsible for your own shit.
... but I’d rather blame someone else for my triggering,
... my history, the injustice.
You are responsible for your own shit.
... but my genes, my upbringing, my abusive father,
... my negligent mother.
You are responsible for your own shit.
... but that’s easy for you to say,
... if you knew my particular, unique circumstance, this just cannot apply,
... I am exempt.
You are responsible for your own shit,
... no way,
... fuck you and your privilege.
You are responsible for your own shit.
... but the First Noble Truth.
You are responsible for your own shit: The Third Noble Truth
... but oh my god don’t make me
... choose
... my historic patterns,
... dysfunction,
... or freedom.
Deceive yourself
... or be responsible for your own shit.
