Correspondence Salon

by Uncustomary | Sep 26, 2013 | Snail Mail

As I’ve mentioned, on Sunday, I got to go to the Postal Museum in DC. The Inverted Jenny stamp was re-released, and it turned into a giant party. I’ve never seen so many people in that museum, but it makes sense! Not only could you get first day release...

I'm not sure if I'm more chaotic good or neutral. I'm not sure if I'm more chaotic good or neutral. Both are actively anti establishment and status quo; the difference is more about their level of moral values of intent, empathy, and altruism. What do you think?

Chaotic Good...

💛 disregards social norms and rigid rules
💛 acts out against oppression 
💛 dislikes authority and bureaucracy 
💛 will do whatever it takes to do the right thing (even if you have to break the rules to do it)
💛 tries to help people when they can (selfless)
💛 actively help others and improve society 
💛 rebel with a cause
💛 think: Robin Hood

Chaotic Neutral...

💜 desires personal freedom above all else 
💜 acts on impulse (not malice)
💜 resists any form of control
💜 can easily change their mind/ sides
💜 fundamentally against dogmatic notions of "good" and "evil"
💜 won't go out of their way to ruin lives but also don't 💜 sacrifice themselves for the greater good
💜 ignores laws until they serve them
💜 free spirit
💜 think: Jack Sparrow

unicorns were helpful for me at the beginning. th unicorns were helpful for me
at the beginning.

they reminded me
of the bridge
between my disillusion of adulthood
and wonder of who i knew i could have been.

now i don’t require
mysticism
to remind me of my magic;

i find it in the cracks of cement
and sharpie paint left on windows.
i know we are all still here
Can you believe that one singular moment is impact Can you believe that one singular moment is impacting your thoughts and therefore your life? 🎠
