1. You perceive unseen things all the time, but when your shrink or your best friend asks, you vehemently deny that shit. What choice do you have? Far be it for this fact to be scary to you though. To the well-trained mind, it’s just a fact of existence.
2. You live life on automatic, i.e., you are keenly aware that everything you do seems to be directed and predestined by a special force. Every fucking thing. It’s a fantastic feeling.
3. You see your life as a movie playing out in front of a celestial audience. They’re raptly following your every move, giving you constant pointers and encouragement. They’ve always got your back.
4. You don’t hear voices — Nah, that’d be way too simple an explanation for the phenomenon. It’s one voice, yours, that’s being split into several…oh shit, I lost my train of thought there. Way too deep.
5. The rest of the world appears like a mediocre console simulation to you. And you’re always winning because you know the glitches intimately. As a famous, self-proclaimed douchebag once said, “All of you Mario, it’s all a game.”
6. Not only do you appreciate almost all forms of art, you emotionally exult to the most random, seemingly ordinary shit. This one is kinda relatable, I imagine. Still, here it’s more about the spectrum of emotion you are able to experience. It’s simply much broader.
7. While you walk in nature, you see the trees salute; you hear the birds whisper your name in awe — the grass shivers as you approach. You nod back in acknowledgment of their greetings. “At ease, grass, I ain’t gonna smoke ya. Not today. Haha.” You are the master of your environment, indeed.
8. Nothing fazes you, you’re fearless. But then you also suffer from silly phobias such as the fear of driving a car. Like, you are terrified of that shit, so you work extra hard to make sure you can be chauffeured for the rest of your life. It’s like that fear has been put there by default in order to humble you a bit. You appreciate it.
9. It appears to the world that you possess a flagrant disregard for things that are held as sacred. Put simply, you give off jerk vibes. Yet, unbeknownst to them, your irreverence is a public show which masks an extraordinary level of contrition for your faults. This is something most people struggle to wrap their minds around, seeing as they just don’t feel remorse to that level. It is a unique favor, bequeathed to you by special Grace. You remind yourself to always be grateful for It.
10. I don’t fucking know what else to say here, guys. Y’all get the point. You just know you are the unadulterated shit, man. Period.
