the platonic dialectic migraine

dont take yourself seriously, and dont slack off, and dont count your ducks before theyve quacked, and dont be absurd.

dont think too hard about it, and dont forget to be mindful, dont ignore every single detail of every person’s face who walks by you, and don’t take it personally.

dont mind the mess, dont make a mess, dont worry too much about taking your shoes off, dont be a slob; what were you, raised in a barn?

dont be so brash and dont be rash, dont be so rational, you have to live a little.

dont be so serious, dont forget your responsibilities, dont bring work back home, and definitely dont leave it to the last minute.

dont forget you’re always growing, but dont ever change, youre perfect… except…

dont make choices based on your wellbeing, or on others’ wellbeing, or on the opinion of others, or for the benefit of others, and definitely not for your own selfish benefit.

dont try to be someone you’re not, but god forbid, don’t chase the pipe dream of being exactly who you are.
