I Believe… [Excusing Evil]

...that the trend to create justification back stories for villainous characters is directly connected to our need to rationalize our own shitty behavior.

...that to center pleasure over purpose is to turn back the clock in an effort to reclaim a time when eating, drinking, and fucking had no immediate negative consequences.

...that who your acquaintences and friends choose to spend their time with dictates who they are and the kind of person they choose to be. You are the company you keep.

...that sometimes choosing solitude isn’t loneliness—it’s self-respect in sweatpants, far from the noise of fuckers who drain your soul one fake laugh at a time.

...that the key to survival is the ability to pivot, head on a swival, and adapt to the relentless change thrown about by living.
