[The Quotes Teller @TheQuotesTeller]

With the amount of energy it takes you to blame others for your problems, you could be devoting energy to actually solving them. Accepting responsibility for the suffering you experience is the first step to overcoming it. When you realize this, you cease being a victim of circumstance, because you realize you never really were. You’ve been a victim of your own shortcomings, and now that you’ve accepted them, you are capable of change. -Paul John Moscatello

Approval isn't the only form of validation.

Everybody wants to advocate tolerance for minorities until it comes to those demonstrating minority of thought; only skin deep, superficial standards for tolerance are permitted.

Recently discovered through researching my mother's maiden name "Montross", that I'm a direct descendant of the 100 or so settlers of Sleepy Hollow, famously depicted in Washington Irving's story and Tim Burton's film; 3 generations for over 100 years from the 1690s to 1800s.

I've always known I was "different," but I don't recall having encountered my particular variety of eccentricity in others; that is, my unique capacity for conceptualizing and communicating, especially so young. As I get older, that period of my life feels progressively surreal.

I've been posting my writing since 2007, when I was 17. People used to even network my AIM username amongst each other. By the time I was 19, I had begun passing out essays in person, resulting in half my community demonizing me as a cult leader, and the other half joining me.

Don't let dishonest media stoke division by assigning you a tribe and propagandizing you into irrationally defending and attacking people based on one-dimensional concepts of community.

[Paul John Moscatello @LiberateReality]

PSA: Identifying with a mass of people and assuming some kind of substantive intimacy based on a superficial relation (ie skin color, political leaning, sexuality, etc) is asinine, and should not be perceived as a "community".

[Paul John Moscatello @LiberateReality]

Center your sense of community around relationships with which you can derive tangible contributions to one another's lives, whom you share developmental experiences with on a semi-daily basis.

...the suffocating mediocrity of polite dishonesty.

@DrNeilStone This proclivity for basically any and everyone with a sizeable following to engage exclusively with rage-bait generalizations is fucking abysmal.

Aside from being an outlet for potential catharsis, I thought some of you might find some insight within the naunce of this particular situation. It can be educational simply to know the hypocrisy that people are capable of when they don the mask of virtue.

My ex of 5 years, who has her masters in psychology and is currently working as a therapist, has messaged me 20 or so times over the past couple of years, though I have not responded for a number of reasons.

[Paul John Moscatello @LiberateReality]

I have copyright struck her, but if Facebook do not intervene in a timely manner and she continues doing this, I will simply message everyone who liked/commented on that post, and inform them directly. I have done it before, much to the horror of the plagiarizer.
