Bro! I was living the NYPD dream, before it was ball less and lame.

Cops would boast to me about stomping out wife beaters and drug dealers...

But they said things were changing even then....

Another banger. I always feel comfort and familiarity (amongst the laughs and fuck yeahs) when I read your stories and the penny just dropped, you remind me a lot of one of my most prized humans who is now gone. He would absolutely froth on ya wild tales.

HAHA. Our world used to have tribal Archetypes. The shaman, The Bard, The Jester, the fool the sage. All in one.

This role is now gone from our Tribes and those who should be embodying it, are often just ruined, or ruin themselves. :)

This system would have come in handy in life so many times. Fortunately, I decided on things far faster than I used to over the years but helping others do the same wasn’t as easy…all that pouring of time and energy. You’re right! No time to waste!! In or out. It sucks the life out of you to be dependent upon on another’s indecision or your own. There is always a choice. There is never only two choices either. I love this post!!!! 😄😄😄😄👏👏👏👏
