Teller Of Tattered Tales @puppet_mirror

Moral determination and being actually right are two different things. You can be morally determined and 100% wrong.

You have obviously grown. Kudus to you. But don't pretend it was all a conscious effort towards growth. Don't pretend you had it all planned out. Don't pretend it was all work and luck had nothing to do with it. Don't pretend that you lost nothing you wouldn't have preferred to…

Talent is not rare. What seems to you as disappearing talent in our cultural ecosystem is actually the physical platforming of idiots, the unskilled rather than the skilled. It has sadly become spectacle over substance. The ass shakers are getting more attention than the poets.…

Before I get angry at any given moment, I always count to 100. 100 seconds of silence. 100 seconds for the irritant to shut the fuck up and walk away. 100 seconds to get my shit together. 100 seconds to envision the remaining years of my life in a Nigerian prison for murder. 100…

Let me get this straight. In the garden of Eden, the lion and the buffalo were both having a happy time along with Adam and Eve? No conflict between the lion and the buffalo arose over let’s say dietary preferences? The garden of Eden was paradise and yet, the buffalo still had…

On the day of my father’s burial when we were all gathered by the grave and his body was being lowered, I declared sharply that I was going to go with him, I was going to enter into the coffin and die with him and people gathered around me holding me back, but just as I got to…

If you think the money you have now is not enough and you expose yourself to more risk in order to get more, you might end up having nothing. If you think the money you have now is enough and you do not embrace more risk in order to get more, you might end up having nothing.

It takes two or three generations to accumulate the kind of wealth you are trying to get in one, all by yourself.

Nobody would blame you. You have sold perfume, from perfume to neolife supplement, from that to doing surprise package, from that to bedsheet, from bedsheet to house cleaning, from house cleaning to selling pepper spray and taser. From that to herbal drink to make penis stand. I…

Every attempt you make to intensify the love you feel for someone who doesn't love you, will only create more irritation in them. Love cannot be fostered where it doesn't exist. Love is not a creature that you find in its embryonic stage. It either does not exist or it is a full…

Marriage is no worse for a woman than it is for a man. And instead of us to have conversations about the nature of marriage itself, we pick gender sides and form arguments around it(the lazy route). And in these arguments, one side becomes demonized every time. If men complain…

I am sorry to inform you, if your version of rich is Lamborghinis and penthouses in foreign countries, you will never get there, walking all the way from poverty. Wealth takes generations to build. Wealth takes time to accumulate. Be satisfied with building the basics. A family…

Beating a child with a cane because you are too stupid to logically win them over with an argument.

How far will your intimacy with this person go before it experiences what economists call a diminishing return? How far before elasticity is reached? How far before repugnance is the only daily routine that remains? How far before love becomes a returned purchase? How far…

The whole point of us being on this planet and in this universe at this point in time is to fuck. That is what evolution demands of us. To get down on our knees and perform like fucking dogs. To produce copies of ourselves. To survive. Evolution doesn't care if you are happy.…

The Joker is always happy. Batman is always sad. Who is living? The laughing maniac with bubble gum in his mad mouth and a nitrogen bomb strapped across his chest ready to blow up the city if the mayor does not masturbate on live television or the man with the cape and cowl…

If you fall in love, you will learn a hard lesson one way or another. It’s inevitable. If you choose to stay after that, the lesson will appear to you in a different but similar form and you will learn it again. Over and over again. You have the choice to leave. But wherever you…

A gimlet pierced into my skull and dreams slowly leaked, cockroaches and consciousness, contrails and coquette clouds, claws of a callous child with chalk in his hollow hand writing on the ribcage of a gibbeted god. A crucible of curses. I cloister a thousand personalities, my…

The felled tree affixed between the seams of skinny fingers is afire, smoke sings in your lost lungs, deep in ash, down to your ankles, the sores and sorrow of shuttered eyes, temptation and temple, a backcloth of blood falls behind the ventriloquist's stage of your burning lips.…

What is Freud even saying. At what point did the fear of invagination shape us as boys? Did any of you have dreams of your penis falling off? Or did you hold it one day to pee and think it had been replaced by your mother with something unoriginal. A duplicate. Like a spare…
