sweet mary J
Sadly, due to the fact that it made me a psychotic bitch capable of homicide, I've decided to cut back on smoking weed. I CURSE MY BRAIN'S CHEMICAL MAKEUP. Although, now i can treat it as a sacred treat. Something I can lust for ... there's reward in yearning for something. Freedom in that eventual hit that makes me stupid yet careless and that is all that matters.
what if God is the bad guy that won?
The bible.. that book with all the killing, sacrifices, incest and damnation. The one that pretty much deems me worthy of every circle in hell. It paints this picture of a scary, rogue angel that went all power hungry on the big man and his heavenly domain and is now sulking in a vengeful fit of evil wrath etc etc. What if the devil's the good guy that never got his book? never had his say or told his story? Now, i'm by no means preaching Satanic praise - i don't know the guy. But if the skies split open one day and the whole mass of atheists unite in one holy cry of "FUCK"as we realise we were wrong and the bloody christians were right, there's a small chance that our downward spiral into hell could be a little like Alice down the rabbit hole. Hell could be anything, as could heaven. The devil's what you make him and I've slowly come to realise that so is the afterlife. Maybe throughout our lives we accumulate a sense of right and wrong, whether handed down by our parents or stumbled upon by ourselves and with this we choose what to believe. What to hate and what to live for. We learn things and make choices and with these choices we slowly decide what death brings- something completely customized to who we are:
for the christian, it's heaven- shining light and eternal praise
for the conscious sinners, it's hell- fire.fire.fire. quick chats with Hitler and Madonna
for the Agnostics, its peace- black and endless
for the trippers, it's riding a majestic and rainbow-coloured unicorn into some psychedelic forest filled with sex and rock n roll
for me, it's whatever my mind chooses to believe. I do not know yet. Maybe I'm right, maybe the human mind is more than chemicals and justified activity- it embodies a spirit, something infinite. something so powerful that death can trigger what we've been living our whole lives deciding; what comes next.

day one of blogging and I can truly say I've been a fucking little hipster through and through. I'M EVEN WEARING A BLOODY JESUS JERSEY! So now, to break the disgustingly hipster trend i shall speak about my feelings and such. Right now at this very moment in time, I feel content. Not overjoyed to the point where I could rip my clothes off and sing from the rooftops but happy enough (think tired, medicated student kinda happy). In other news, i'm extremely annoyed with my bladder that's probably making everyone in my classes think i'm either pregnant or a drug addict with my constant bathroom trips. Upon one of these bathrooms trips I realised how much more harmonious diversity was when we were kids. I remember not caring about what colour, culture etc etc the person I was playing with was and just wanting to make that fucking sandcastle or climb that fucking tree- there was no difference. Alas, and then we get old and think we are different and unique and we find reasons to not coexist but to protest. Not protest in the burning bra or civilian shoot out kinda way but our mini, self-protests where we scream "LOOK AT ME, I'M DIFFERENT FROM YOU AND THIS MATTERS"... which it does but in a weird way, it also doesn't. The most peaceful thing I've come to realise is that there is no truth. Truth is God and reality and all the shit that comes with that - all the shit in your head. It is a choice that is regurgitated from all the decisions made before us, all the decisions that made us. I am god and knowing this, I am free.
Science, religion and language will seduce all minds that want to be seduced but at the end of the day, there is no truth. I cannot think of myself as a victim of law and morality - both were decided by man as was instinct and humanity. We have learned to exist this way. I am desperately trying to find a new way... my way. THE RIGHT WAY... juuuuust kidding. But i've found my group of people and love that will get me there somehow whether it be mind-altering drugs or an innocent stumble upon a new philosophy, I will learn to exist as a choice not plagued by the sickly character we call humanity.

a series of letters I wrote to myself (don't ask- therapy is for bored, rich people)
Dear Taila,
You have freedom young lady. Freedom
between your legs, beneath your feet, in your stares, your tantrum kicks and
daring licks. Freedom. There’s none of it for mommy’s girls and precious curls.
Just freedom: a homemade rendition. No serpent self-loathing to coil around a
wondrous heart. No ghastly, wooden wounds or whiny bullshit blues. Merely
freedom, the stuff of wind and dirty feet.
My freedom, your freedom. It tastes like
uncontrollable light. Your saving grace. Your mother’s plight. It is raw and
naked. It is yours.
Love,
Taila
Dear Taila,
Sometimes, it’s ok to be unfocused.
Undefined and slightly confused. You need no lines of definitive authority.
Because life is ambiguous and so are
you. Flesh is inconstant and misleading, step forth as spirit and soul. Wait
for old age to excuse your madness and reinvest yourself into the loyalty of
character.
Love,
Taila
Dear Taila,
RELAX!
Don’t allow the somber feelings to
manifest. Not in your room or in your head. Unzip your skin of all attire and
dust off the stigma attached to your bones. You are popularly alone so make
friends with yourself. Befriend talent, flaw and the fine line in-between. Fear
not the time to be unsettled. Let time sooth you like reckless water, replacing
limbs with ticks and tocks and simple serenity. Lounge about like feline and
empress and taste the day for its lesson. To relax is to release and replenish.
Do not fear a little laziness.
Love,
Taila
Dear Taila,
No more suitcase of pity, that baggage
of weighty sighs and self-made lies. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL. And you are mobile. As
fleeting as a bird in pose, as a toddler on their toes. Not fickle and
inconstant but fleeting. Fleeting like beauty and lust and a lover’s anger. You
are a traveler, a soulful gypsy. Not anchored to earth but winged. A winged
spirit- not demon nor angel. Don’t sit in a box and wallow and wail. Be bold
and boisterous and say ‘shit” and ‘fuck” with dainty, pretty lips. Pay no
attention to fickle folk and pretentious pilgrims. You are alone this journey.
Alone and content.
Love,
Taila
Dear Taila,
Get out of the box.
Be rootless.
Love,
Taila
Dear Taila,
These feet have waltzed me from youth to ignorance
Where I now pour limbs for those made of glass
And money
Wet and green
Like and early lawn
Where I would sit as a child
And believe in God.
Little feet-
Stay grounded and unruly.
Love,
Taila
Dear Taila,
Sold to godly highs and demonic lows
I wrestle with the tails of gargoyles
(the stone thieves of my sanity)
In the absence of mercy
I am left losing the wits I had never truly owned
The wits that belonged to mothers and fathers,
Presidents and mobile homes
The wits that belong to the petri dish in which I had been
grown
(And I am mad
So very mad)
Love,
Taila
Dear Taila,
Sin.
Sin-g
Sin-ister
Sin-cerity
Sin-gle
Sin-king
There is sin everywhere. Do not fear the
commands of a manmade God. You are a living, breathing vessel: sin is
inevitable.
Sin is fun.
Love,
Taila
