on quitting smoking
my loyal followers will know the sad truth I'm sharing here today; I quit smoking.
not just microplastics, but nicotine and zaza and all of the above. never again will I roll a paper around the beautiful small plastic particles less than 5mm in length, resulting from industrial manufacturing (primary) or degradation of larger plastic waste (secondary). i've been smoking since I was 8, and it has become entrenched in my sense of self, so much I would regularly wake up 3-4 times a night to light one up before the jitters got too bad.
i know this is a huge switch-up. i promise i am not being forced to say this by any Cat or secret government organisation. this is 100% wholly and truly a tooth truth.
i have been getting out of breath wayyy easier. my dad used to always say that walking up a hill while smoking two cigs was enough exercise for the day (because your body has to put twice the effort in and has half the oxygen it needs). i am starting to think that maybe his premature death from lung cancer (ruled officially by a coroner, although we've always speculated his lungs spontaneously combusted) had something to do with this. i never have been able to get up a hill in one go.
this has been a decision i've been considering for a while and, after meeting with top plastic specialists, i have been concerned for the wellbeing of my lungs. immortality is great and all but apparently you can still get cancer?! and immortality will just prolong the pain and suffering of cancer?!?!?! i attempted to make the switch to biodegradable plastics (think PLA and PHA) but found myself smoking 5x more on average to make up for the lack of hit. this was not sustainable. I need to purge myself completely from smoking.
just as i don't want my brain ruled by the Floor 10 Cats, i don't want my brain to be ruled by addiction to nicotine or plastic.
i've also just been invited to be part of a super top secret project with my bestest friends and i want to make sure i don't get ash on anything important.
so much of my identity in my adult life and in godhood has centred around my plastic diet- i feel it's been my only way to help the people of the world by trialling anti-brain wave experiments. i have to be selective with my research and my energy as i am only one goblin against the Cats.
part of me does question if this is stemming from a desire to fit in because no one ever wants to come out on a smoke break with me. it can get really lonely standing outside for 15 minutes by yourself. and i cant seem to convince my friends to take up smoking as a hobby :( so I thought what the hell why not try out their hobbies instead so they want to hang out and like me more. Because as we all know, having best friends and community is one of the most essential steps in overcoming oppression. Comradery will help us free the lower floors from wage slavery and liberate the silo through understanding who the real enemy is (Evil Cats) and no longer turning on each other.
this does not mean i have stopped my efforts to counteract Cat Brain Waves. instead, i have opted for biodegradable plastics in my diet and a healthier plastic-based skincare routine. with enough time and care, my lungs should make a full recovery. (maybe I will be able to run a marathon!!) (always have to be prepared in case the Cats were to launch an attack against me and I have to run away)
there is no perfect science to setting yourself free from brain waves. in fact, there has never been a successfully documented case. i am doing what is best for my own wellbeing. I hope my fellow cat-truthers are okay with this!!
