I tell you I’m fucked up.
So you know I’m fucked up.
But the question
in BOTH of our minds is
“How Fucked Up Am I?”
Am I MORE fucked up than you?
LESS fucked up than you?
That depends upon
how fucked up you are.
I have no way of knowing.
Just as YOU have no way
of knowing my fuck-up-it-ness.
So who cares?
Let’s get fucked.
And fuck each other up.

In the grand cosmic dance, the admission of being “fucked up” opens a portal to a realm where vulnerability and human complexity intermingle. This declaration, a raw and unvarnished truth, sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the self and our shared human condition.
The Spectrum of Fucked Up-ness
The contemplation of “How Fucked Up Am I?” is a poignant reflection of our desire to understand and quantify our struggles, pain, and flaws. It’s a comparison that seeks to place ourselves on a spectrum of human experience, a measure against an unknown standard. This introspection, however, reveals a fundamental truth: the degree of our fucked up-ness is relative and deeply personal.
The Relativity of Human Struggle
The comparison between one’s own fucked up-ness and that of another underscores the relativity of human struggle. Our experiences, pains, and scars are unique to each of us. They are shaped by our individual journeys, perceptions, and contexts. In recognizing this, we acknowledge that each person’s experience is valid, yet incomparable in its entirety.
The Unknown Depths of Others
We stand at the edge of a vast ocean of individual experiences, aware only of the surface. Just as we cannot fully know the depths of another’s fuck-up-it-ness, others cannot fathom the complexities of our own. This mutual unknowability creates a space of humility and empathy, a recognition that we are all navigating the unpredictable waters of life.
Embracing Our Flaws Together
The invitation to “get fucked” and “fuck each other up” can be seen as a call to embrace our flaws, vulnerabilities, and the messiness of life together. It’s an acknowledgment that in our shared imperfections, there is a form of unity, a collective journey through the ups and downs of human existence.
