Haven't thought about it for a while

LENNY THIS SWEETHEART OF A MAN WHO CAN DO NO WRONG (fsfs)

So the thing about Lennon. He has trauma. Heck, he has sleep paralysis all about the trauma and guilt he feels. People hate him. They try to knock him down, kill him, tell him he’s crazy for being kind to his enemies. But yknow what? He doesn’t let it affect him. He will keep on genuinely smiling and finding the humor in the world. Because the world can take away everything except his smile. That belongs to him.

And since we're on the theme of how he treats the world, I'll reverse it and talk about how he treats himself because this guy is AWFUL at it. When someone legitimately wants to know if he’s okay, he will sincerely ask “why does that matter?” Not in a scolding, sarcastic way. He genuinely does not think it matters in the slightest. He has come to believe his only purpose is to care about every other person but himself. He almost dehumanizes himself and acts as if there is nothing else he’s meant to do. He’s reckless. He still drives a motorcycle on dangerous city roads because he thinks it’s unimportant if something were to happen. Sure, he in no way wants to die—of course, not. He’s got a family. He’s got friends. He knows they care about him (to some extent), yet he still can’t think of himself as doing anything differently for their sake. It’s something he should—nay, needs to learn, but his dumb little brain won’t let it in.

And it's such a contrast. He doesn't let what the world thinks affect him. He doesn't let it bother him. Their opinions don't necessarily mean anything to him. Yet somehow, if someone even suggests he doesn't care about them (aka the PEOPLE), he will sincerely and politely call you an idiot.

Because he doesn’t care about "the world." He cares about the people. Everything he does is centered around people. That's all that matters to him. The people.

And somehow, he's forgotten that he's a person too.

CASEY TIME

So one thing that stands out about this strange, british man is that he's kind of a walking contradiction. He's arrogant but aware of everything he does wrong. He gives great advice but can't for the life of him follow it himself. He loves being different but hates to be misunderstood. He has amazing ideas but lacks the patience necessary to follow through. He loves people but is constantly judging them. He’s a paradox.

But I'd say the most noticeable difference is his complete reckless behavior, despite his impossibility to ever make a decision.

And that doesn't seem like a huge contradiction at first, right? But with a certain sense of bold actions, you have to have quick resolution. You can't really call yourself reckless if it takes you thirty minutes to decide if doing the thing is beneficial enough for your intents.

So to conclude, I guess Casey is a pretty daring guy, insomuch as he doesn't mind the danger. But he will NOT stand for making hasty decisions.
