Easy homemade self delusion in 4 simple steps!


 

Step one, buy a soft, fluffy, opaque, velvet ribbon

Secure it firmly around your beautiful desperate eyes

Make sure you can’t see your failures and shortcomings

Your ugly personality, laziness or questionable morals

 

Step two, get a useless ugly pet and name it Ego!

Feed it twice, thrice, a million, a zillion times a day

Soon you’ll accept what you are not, what you’ll never be

You’ll externalize & project your issues, you’ll shutdown criticism!

 

Step three, follow the following fun & harmful DON’TS

Don’t self-reflect, introspect, retrospect, self- observe

Don’t accept uncomfortable feelings, truths, facts, anything

Bury them nicely with past pesky emotional wounds

 

Step four, learn to become a professional mental gymnast

Who accepts and bathes is beautiful comfortable lies,

Who only befriends other bubble building mental gymnasts,

Who misunderstands the temporary joy for everlasting truth,

 

For you Mr. leprechaun lover, here are some more resources

Resources to help you build a crumbly, wobbly self esteem -

Social media, media, movies, celebrities, ads and other lies

Toxic positivity, toxic self-acceptance, and spicy fact ignorance

 

All this at the cost of zero intellectual labor, zero common sense

Zero intelligence, zero true self acceptance; truly best deal ever!

Make excuses for yourself and others like a certified professional!

So my dear go on ahead, live life in your pretty bubble till it pops.
