These past few weeks have been the kind that get on your nerves\u2026 pure drama! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A latin friend of mine, drowning in tears over her cappuccino bc of her ex, whining that she regrets not marrying him. Excuse me? Pity dressing up as a martyr, obsessing over a guy who only cares about his superficial mirror image, now she is playing the victim role while stabbing herself with emotional daggers\u2026 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Literally, I ordered an espresso shot\u2014it was the only thing strong enough to wash away that bad taste\u2026 I told her, \u201cYou\u2019re not his Virgin of Guadalupe! Let him pray to another saint\u2026\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The problem isn\u2019t the ex\u2014it\u2019s that she doesn\u2019t want to stop being the star of her own emotional punishment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Y\u2019all, we\u2019ve all got that deluxe demon, that emotional .zip file that won\u2019t delete but won\u2019t open either \ud83d\ude2e\u200d\ud83d\udca8<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If I ever get tangled in that moral web again, I\u2019ll do it purely for emotional ethnography & glass of whiskey.. chilling, observing like I\u2019m studying an extinct behavior: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLet\u2019s see if it still reacts to the same stimulus. Spoiler: they do.\u201d Lol <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I enlightened my friend so she wouldn\u2019t get trapped in that cycle. I told her, being friends with an ex is dangerous, but if you have to do it, you visit them like you\u2019re passing through an old neighborhood for nostalgia\u2026 and you leave before sunset \ud83d\ude0e <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Folks, morality traps us in what \u2018should\u2019 be and limits what we want<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Facing temptation\u2014after a few failed attempts\u2014when you reach a mature freedom, you don\u2019t aim to be \u201ccorrect,\u201d you aim to be true to your real-time conscience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You face the options temptation gives you from a position of power. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019ve got a philosophy that goes: <\/p>\n\n\n\n Anyone claiming they didn\u2019t enjoy flirting with the devil is just faking a selfie smile <\/em>\ud83d\ude08<\/p>\n\n\n\n I know, I just turned Eden into an afterparty haha<\/p>\n\n\n\n But every chaos is private\u2014and you know that makes it more valuable. More intimate. More real. \ud83d\ude0e<\/p>\n\n\n\n But here\u2019s the real question<\/strong>: <\/p>\n\n\n\n Does the echo or the abstinence sting more? <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n This week I asked my bestie from NY, and he said: <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cKim, you know, I\u2019m on a celibacy streak\u2014it\u2019s way hotter to flirt than to have sex. Watching the other person burn for you, feeling the temptation brush your skin so close, and then choosing, nah! I don\u2019t real want you\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n Me: HAHAHA<\/p>\n\n\n\n I got it\u2014the real fire isn\u2019t in sealing the deal\u2014it\u2019s in the game itself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The tension, the unresolved desire, that moment where anything could happen but doesn\u2019t\u2026 that\u2019s what ignites more than the act itself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s like flirting with the devil: the adrenaline\u2019s in the edge, in the provocation, not in crossing it for good\u2026 When you see someone burning for you, and you control that fire, it\u2019s a sweet, dangerous, addictive kind of power \ud83d\ude3c<\/p>\n\n\n\n I told all of you, this so attractive guy plays so hard to follow!! <\/p>\n\n\n\n Morality limits you like it\u2019s giving orders. I\u2019m not just talking about temptation\u2014I\u2019m talking about the pleasure of mastering it. Anyone who says otherwise just can\u2019t stop at the right moment and would rather demonize it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Me? I love living on the edge\u2026 right where the fall is fatal, and the flight is glorious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Bye now! <\/p>\n\n\n This week\u2019s all about what everyone thinks but nobody says on speaker. Me? My neighbors say I had nothing on\u2014nah, that\u2019s a lie, I had the radio blasting at full volume \ud83d\ude0e What we call \u201cgood\u201d or \u201cevil\u201d isn\u2019t written in the stars\u2014it\u2019s in the hands of whoever\u2019s got the power, with the best PR for their version of the truth. It\u2019s a philosophical, political, and strategic Game of Thrones where the powerful call the shots, and the rest of us dance to their tune like we\u2019re free haha But heads up: once you swallow their rules as absolute truths, you end up hiring yourself as your own executioner. Me? I\u2019m just here after a morning of riding, inviting you on an emotional joyride\u2014no map, no guarantees\u2014the kind that breaks cold logic wide open. \ud83d\ude09 This week, I opened my Pandora\u2019s box and, damn! It was full of ghosts!! Those specters I used to party with when boredom hit hard came back to give me a wink haha Aww, poor things\u2014I threw on my shades, cranked up my country soundtrack, and told them I had a rosary in the cooler. I don\u2019t want any \u201cdemoni-ex\u201d with a busted GPS messing with my nowhere vibe! \ud83d\ude0e Dear readers, I don\u2019t beat around the bush. I don\u2019t sell supermarket spirituality, and I don\u2019t buy morality forged for control. That\u2019s right\u2014don\u2019t come at me with self-exams or answers that sound like verses from different Bible translations \ud83d\ude12 If you\u2019re gonna read me, get ready for your internal X-ray \ud83d\ude08 Personally, when I see those moralistic little stamps at the community fair\u2014the ones that repress your desire and keep you from taking control\u2014it just confirms the killer marketing they do to stop you from facing it head-on. Everyone\u2019s got those fake selfie smiles\u2026 because nobody admits that we don\u2019t just sin\u2014we do the novena and sin again haha There\u2019s no \u201cwhy\u201d\u2014it\u2019s just our human nature. Sorry, but I think that slogan \u201c Raising hell on Saturday, going to church on Sunday, call it a tie\u201d is a loser\u2019s motto.. Me? Success is my comfort zone, but it looks like you\u2019re lost in the land of promises\u2026 if your life plan is to sin, ask for forgiveness, and reset like Candy Crush? I\u2019m not sorry as I said, tbh \ud83d\ude12 Gossip Sesh: These past few weeks have been the kind that get on your nerves\u2026 pure drama!
