[0:00]I finally figured it out. Some people cannot compute, they cannot process dichotomy, complexity. They cannot break down plurality,ity. So of course, they cannot understand that all these things can exist in the same body. And this is why you must study yourself. Yeah, like it's your assignment. You must wake up every day and study yourself and hopefully you are changing because change is great. So you wake up, make it your assignment to learn who you are and who you are becoming. Because one thing that will never change is that people will always try to put you in a box. And it's not because they hate you. It's exactly what I said. They cannot compute. They themselves are in boxes, so of course they must put you in one. How else would they cope? Uh-huh. So you need to know yourself so well so that when someone brings their beautifully curated, constructed, sexy-looking, fresh hand-painted box to push you inside, you kick that box away and say, "Mba, no, that is not who I am." Why? Because you know yourself. Because, darling, when you do not know yourself, when they tell you who you are, you will not know how to dissent. You won't have the voice to say no. You won't know how, you'll be too afraid to counteract what they are saying because you don't know who you are. Listen, my heart goes out to you, genuinely, and I mean this on the bottom of my heart. My heart goes out to you, but your closed-mindedness, your limitations are not my problem. Okay? I refuse. I don't have to live in a small world just because you live in one. The world is vast. It's not my fault that you can't see it. Have a nice snack, today is cheese and cucumbers. Peace.
