Satire On Narrative: How I Learned To Let Go Of Things And Treat People As A Means To An End

In This Article:

I realized that I have power in this world, a power that is unfounded by anyone else: I am a writer.

I get to express myself and put emphasis on me and my story

Born to an untroubled past, I find it hard to get anyone to listen to me properly. I envy people who have had hardships in the past, how their character has grown and changed over time. Then, I realized something: I can live vicariously through other people, treating people as if I have lived with them. Not only does this secure me as an empath, as I am able to understand other people's hardships and feelings, but this gives me character development. I am able to adapt other's perspectives as my own. Not only does this give other people meaning within my worldview, but it also creates these people as my worldview.

I learned to let go and write

I found myself troubled and alone in this world, I had nothing to grasp. My life is just too perfect for this horrible and cruel world. With this perfection that I possess, I decided long ago that I would become a famous writer. I can't just become a lowly writer, I must become famous as I need to impact as many numbers as I can. I have made so many friends these past few years, and using their stories in my writing creates a flavorful combination of words that attract many different types of readers. I need to appeal to multiple people at a time.

Writing has given me a special privilege in this world

As a writer, I receive little to no financial support (besides the checks in the mail that my parents send me every semester), so, in lieu of an income, I expect the world do me favors. I know there is a God out there, and since I am writing scripture, He will bend the free will of others in order to give me convenience. No one truly knows how important my influence on this world will get.

The objectification, the materialism of my work cements it as a true work of art. I am a product of my time, and I will produce as much as possible in order to make a deadline. I will get my head start in any way possible, even if I have to post on a predatory forum.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
