you are cute, but juvenile

i wish so fucking bad that schools would teach even the most basic nature and wildlife literacy. bc what they teach now is how we get these godawful lawns and monocultures and an endlessly growing list of extinct animal species. like i can’t even count how many times i’ve been trying to explain to people why mosquitoes/moths/bats/flies/wasps/etc are so important and people have gone “but that’s what bees are for (pollination)” or “birds can just eat other things” or “things decompose on their own”. it has to be in the dozens. nothing makes me as upset as when people simply cannot wrap their heads around the fact (fact, fact, fact) that every single organism has its purpose in nature and there is *nothing* that is “pointless”. ignorance like this is what leads to barren monoculture lawns and deforestation and “pest control” and devastating invasive species and expanding extinction/endangerment lists. i just wish schools would teach that every animal and plant has its place, and *nothing* needs to be exterminated as a whole, *especially* native wildlife. but of course capitalism can’t thrive on proper environmentalism so i guess we’ll just have to deal with this.

humans aren’t pointless actually we’re here for a reason. we’re here to make art and bake bread and tell stories and see ourselves in each other and to notice that our tears and the ocean taste the same. that and ecosystems like forests do best when we’re there to forage and use the resources there because humans are a part of nature too and like i said each and every species has its place and its role in the ecosystem. go look up some cave paintings or whatever

I cannot stress enough that humans were meant to live.

I don't mean survive, I mean fucking live.

We were born for love, art, baking, sure, but we were born to goddamn live.

I wasn't put on this earth because of some incomprehensible reason via eldritch space deity or whathaveyou, I was born from a biological process called two humans fucking, and that's the goddamn story. I was born, and now I'm alive, that's the shtick. I have a purpose here, and the goddamn purpose is to eat, live and then die one day just like every lifeform on earth. I have a part to play, a cog in nature's machine, a piece on the puzzle. As humans, we are not pointless or fucking meaningless and I hear one more goddamn person say that I'm punching them in the goddamn MOUTH.

I was born to live. To wander the grass, keep a bloody garden, eat, drink, make merry and art and to fucking LIVE! And by god & devil alike, come the oceans of roiling blood and storming hells, I'll keep fucking living because that's my purpose!
