Monsters

Folklore and under our beds is where monsters lived. Went a little further and featured in our nightmares on those bad nights. Some of us, or at least most of us found comfort in believing that monsters didn't exist, life was easier like that. That it was all tell and tale. So when we woke up in the morning with scars, bleeding, it had to be anything else but imaginary beasts. So we blamed everything and everyone else. At the end of the day, the capacity to hold blame and guilt was most massive within ourselves. So the spectrum shifted. It was us. We were to blame. So slowly, the world wasn't scary for monsters anymore. They didn't exist afterall. So they crawled out from under our bed and from our nightmares into our lives. They became family, we fell in love with them, they became friends, they became the society. They grew ferocious and developed appetite. They became invincible, they didn't exist anyway so.

While we all ran with half Fran Lebowitz's quote, we didn't quite get it. Fran said 'Think before you speak and read before you think' but we've all told or been told to  think before we speak. But do we really? While it mostly intends to mean, "make sure your message is intellectual enough and that it's on motion" the aspect of impact is always left out. Do you take a minute to think about the impact your utterances could cause. Because most often, shit 'slips' and we say pretty hurtful things. While thank God apologies are a thing, bandages don't heal bullet holes. People will say it's fine, but it's never really fine. Said shit will linger, insecurities will resurface or become shinier, esteems will be slain.( Oh I said slips in qoutes because that's not a slip you dumb ass, it's because you didn't think before you went on verbal rampage. ) Victims then won't stop wondering what else goes on in your mind becau
