Bunny gives Advice
From an excellent Blogger:
"Q) What the fuck do you do when you get hate mail? Since you're one of the only female writers on the internet that I like I need your advice. I have one lady that keeps sending me emails saying I'm a shitty person and a drug addict,etc., etc. It's really bothering me and hurting my feelings. Everyone says to ignore it but that's a little hard to do sometimes. What would Bunny do?"
A) It takes a little bit of time, but eventually you realize that this person is doing all of this because she's too cowardly to make herself happy.
That's the best lesson I ever learned from having a web site: people are weak and insecure. They spend all their lives struggling to seem as normal as possible to everyone else, ignoring who they are and ultimately becoming torridly unhappy. Then they make fun of people who are more courageous. The more I get to know "normal" people, the more I realize how fucking crazy they are.
Please do not listen to them. If you can look yourself in the mirror and be honest about everything that makes you who you are, and then take that--good AND bad--put it out there in the world, fearlessly, then you are on the path to a substantial happiness and probable enlightenment.
[This girl goes on to say that her ex-husband used to berate her for being depressed when they were still married. He would call her "crazy" and make her feel weak for allowing herself to feel things. So she eventually left him, and he killed himself. Normal people are just fucked up].

Fabulous advice, I couldn't agree more. What does normal mean anyway? The craziest time in my life was when I was the most "normal".

That's why I love movies like American Beauty and Happiness - they show how fucked up the "normal" people are. It takes a lot of repression to be normal sometimes.

there should be no such thing as normal in our society, we are free individuals(in the US anyway) so that no 2 people are exactly alike, if we conform to a "normal" we lose that, and then it asks the question, what did we fight for?

I'm weak and insecure, but I don't go around annoying the shit out of people with my ideals. I don't really hae ideals though... Maybe I'm not as bad as I thought I was...
