I think I already have this problem.

Let me explain.

My brain, it’s wired differently. Hyperfocused, like a laser. Whatever is in front of me, it consumes my thoughts, my energy, everything. I create—constantly, endlessly. Ideas, projects, stories. Even when the world’s disconnected from the internet, I still churn out concepts. It’s as if I have this untapped potential, waiting to explode.

But here’s the catch: most of the time, I just hand it over to the kids or keep it to myself, like it’s nothing. Maybe I should’ve shared more. Maybe I held too much back. But lately? Lately, I haven’t held back at all.

Everything, every thought that flows through me, I’ve let loose. There’s been so much. And to be honest, I hope I’m not offending too many people. Well, except those scummy elites ruining the world. They deserve it. Bwahahaha.

I laugh, not in fear, but in defiance. I say, I say—calming down isn’t an option now. I won’t slow this fire. No, I’ll crank up the heat.

How’s that for climate change? Afterall, that is the claim. Which, I tend to agree that the climate is always changing. And have heard it is at an increased rate. It’s up to us as people to fix that. Starting with the rich people constantly traveling via jet and other high carbon dioxide producing means. I say plant trees.

Bwahahahaha.
