A CHANGE OF HEART

As recently as yesterday, I was wallowing in my depression.

I know, you're an asshole and you don't want to hear about my problems. Well, I'm not talking about my problems here, am I you orange-cockdick-palm-oil-loving, hypocritical cunt?

Sorry for that outburst. Seriously, it's people like you who make me think there is no hope for the world. And now I'm one of you. I hate myself, because I am you, and I hate you.

And I have decided that this is enough of that. Enough of that miserable depressed bullshit. I was of the mindset that I was going to leave politics forever, because it was politics that made me so depressed.

Then I was listening to the song "SMILE," by K'naan yesterday while I was driving home on the freeway and I had a good long listen to the lyrics. Whereas before I had been hearing the lyrics about how life is all just violence and terror, I had never really been hearing the main idea of that song. The crux of it.

The idea of that song is basically JUST SMILE. No matter what is happening. I don't think I ever knew really what that meant when I first heard the song when it came out. But now, I think I do.

I think I'm going to go back to university and back into political science because I want to help change the world. That's the reason why I declared as a Political Science student in my Freshman year, and as a member of the program in my Sophomore year. I wanted to help change the world. Only now, after having sunk down the hole, I know that I will never give up until I get that degree. I will never give up until I am digging toilets with my own two hands for villages that need them, until I am getting a traffic light built in an area that needs it, until I am taking big money out of politics, until I am myself standing in the capitol building talking for twelve hours about drones.


That still doesn't stop me from being a lazy fuck. I just hope that I never have to go back on my principles.
