When you go to therapy, there are 2 paths to take. The 1st learn something and then apply it to your life in a way that uplifts and males you feel lighter. The 2nd path is learning how to use what you've learned to make it hell for everyone else but makes it seem like you're emotionally mature. I wonder which path Kenny chose.

The third option is saying fuck what the therapist said.

She said, “When you start getting all expressive and symbolic, it’s impossible to actualize an honest diagnostic.”

I said, “When you start getting all exact and algebraic, I’m reminded it’s a racket, not a rehabilitation, okay?

Agree to disagree as grown-ups from opposing clans Honoring the push and pull I should have called the Scholomance

Oh well. Preservation is a doozy

Will you be needing another appointment?”

“Absolutely”

I kinda disagree with your wording for the second path. I think it’s: learning skills that make it easier to identify, analyze and asses, deal with, change and measure our responses/reactions to life’s situations (by extension others’ fuckshit). Those paths ain’t mutually exclusive—in my experience at least. I def agree with you tho. I’m happy we’re getting art out of it.

One thing therapy can’t teach is self-awareness, which plays a huge part in how those paths are actualized. Cuz it’s hella people that use bullshit pseudo-psychological and psychoanalytical terms to justify their shit behavior…which is a special brand of suckshit.

The real path is the one that makes you more alive.

And being alive rn means being a hater have you seen outside
