Contortion

How many people do you know are struggling right now to keep their house, their lights on, their kids fed, their tuition fees covered, their phone bills, their cars, their little bits of luxury? Are you thinking about any of these things? I was.

I also understand it ain’t my fault. Some of this shit is by design. Some people were intentionally protected and provided for while others were deliberately taken from. Capitalism’s contortion of our current financial conditions has been studied and can be undone. Stay with me…

You can go outside or online right now and be sold a million different paths to freedom. “Buy this book, invest in this course, climb this ladder, side-hustle-side-hustle!”

While every single one of us is living inside of the imagination of those who came before us. It doesn’t make much sense to dizzy ourselves trying to find the right path inside a system that was never designed for everybody to succeed.

But shit, who can try to solve all that shit?
The bills still come every month.
