I am a writer of dark magical realism. All that is visible but rarely seen, all that is real but seems surreal, all that is dark yet radiates light.

GET IT HOW YOU LIVE IT

"You hate the law, nigga break it, I don't care. And when ya get caught, remember that I don't care." Noreaga, Superthug

The quote above pretty much sums up how I feel about people. I judge internally, yes. I think to myself, "Would not be for me." But I vocally neither parent or moralize. When I try to do either I feel out of alignment with myself--I can't take on the burden of saving someone from themselves. I've tried that before, you were way too heavy.

Besides, it is not my job to calibrate anyone's moral compass. I can't lead you while I'm trying to direct me.

It's up to you to decide what is right from what is wrong. We are all adults here. You know what you should or should not be doing, so if you want to do it anyway--then just do it.

If you ask for my opinion, I'll give it to you: the one you want to hear.
If you ask me to co-sign, I'll give it to you: if that's what you want to hear.
If you ask me for my advice, I'll give it to you: the kind that will help you win.

Have it your way--whatever you want, I'll give it to you. Just make you sure you know your way.

The intent and action were all yours and so are the consequences--get it how you live it.

  1. Am I hearing you say always obey the 11th commandment - thou shall not be caught? Nobody expects you to calibrate their moral compasses but not being helpful when someone needs your help for a decision is callous. I will only exonerate you if their mind is made against all advice but in that case if harm will be done to some innocent person then a report should be filed.
