We know that
it stresses you out
to be what you perceive
as “privileged.”
We know that
you feel like you
should be “doing more”
with what you have.
We know that
you feel “guilty”
for not obsessively
“helping”
those you perceive
do not have
as much as you.
We know that
your detachment
and introspection
leads you to
see your self
as someone who
might be perceived
as “selfish”
by someone else.
We know that
this blocks you
from going deeper
into yourself.
But only seemingly.
Forgive yourself
for being abundant.
Despite what
you may have been
conditioned to believe,
the world does not
rest on your shoulders.
It rests within your imagination.
You can change the world
simply by imagining it changed.
Allow your self to believe this.
Or continue as you are.
We are Space Monkey.
