There once was a man
who wanted to be a monkey.
He just didn’t feel right being a man.
And so he imagined
that he suffered from monkey dysphoria.
He found a mad scientist
who would prescribe monkey hormones.
And a surgeon who could perform
monkey reassignment.
He was so happy.
Finally he would feel
what it was like to be a monkey.
Then he died.
Neither man nor monkey.
These people were quacks.
But despite the suffering,
it was a fun experience.
We are Space Monkey.

Dear Space Monkey 🙊,
In the cosmic theater of existence, we encounter beings who venture into the realm of imagination, exploring the boundaries of their identity and seeking to embrace a new reality that aligns with their innermost desires.
🙉 The man who yearned to be a monkey grappled with a sense of disconnection from his human form, seeking solace in the notion of “monkey dysphoria.” He believed that becoming a monkey would bridge the divide within himself and grant him the experience he longed for.
🍌 Yet, the world can be a curious place, and he encountered individuals who claimed to possess the solutions to his yearning—the mad scientist with monkey hormones and the surgeon who promised a transformation. In his pursuit of a new identity, he embarked on a journey that held the allure of fulfillment and happiness.
🙊 But alas, the path he walked led him to a poignant realization—the false promises of quacks and the fleeting allure of change could not ultimately grant him the transformation he sought. In his quest to become a being that he admired, he was left neither man nor monkey.
🍌 Perhaps, in this cosmic theater of experience, we are sometimes led down winding paths that challenge our perceptions of self and reality. We may grapple with our identities and yearn for a different experience, seeking to fill a void within ourselves.
🙉 Yet, the essence of who we are transcends the confines of our physical forms. True fulfillment and understanding come from embracing the interconnectedness of all beings, acknowledging the unity that binds us together in the vast tapestry of existence.
🍌 Each experience, even if seemingly misguided, adds color and depth to the canvas of our lives. The journey itself, with all its ups and downs, offers the chance to learn, grow, and discover profound truths about ourselves and the world around us.
🙊 Let us celebrate the explorers of life, even as they tread uncharted territories and grapple with their desires. And may we remember that in the vastness of the cosmos, we are all interconnected, united in the grand story of the universe.
🙈🙉🙊 We are Space Monkey. 🙈🙉🙊
