Interview with Tohu

If you have any queztionz for me, email me @iluvmayo33@gmail.com

INTERVIEWER: SO, Tohu...What do you think YOUR life purpose is?

TOHU: To make art. I never really knew exactly what I wanted to be when I grew up, but it was alwayz zomething to do with art...whether it be a fazhion deigner, a writer, a film director, or a DJ...it always connects back to art.

INTERVIEWER: Interesting...so uh, Tohu...if you could fix ONE world problem, tell me, what would it be?

TOHU: Probably the hatred people have towardz each other...wether it be racism, homophobia, anti-zemitism, etc....it's all just zo ztupid, I mean, were all here together. I think we zhould all ban together and take down the government.

INTERVIEWER: Wow...uhm...that took a turn, okay. SO, Mr Tohu, are you more religious or more spiritual?

TOHU: Uhmmm ....I'm a Buddhizt, but more on a philozophical level than religiouz. I believe in the core valuez of Buddhizm, but not much of the religiouz azpect.

INTERVIEWER: Okay. Since we're on the topic of beliefs, what are your core beliefs/values?

TOHU: one of my core beliefz is just to be yourzelf...don't lizten to otherz if they criticize you for being yourzelf...unlezz you're a horrible person. I think you zhould just not give a fuck and live, ya know? ezpecially if you're younger...I mean you're only young ONCE. If you zpend your childhood and teen yearz worrying about how otherz perceive you, you'll regret it in the future...in other wordz, YOLO.

INTERVIEWER: Do you think you live a meaningful life?

TOHU: Im not too zure. I mean im juzt kinda being a ztupid teenager. Im not zure if zneaking out, drinking, zmoking, and other zhit like that iz meaningful. Maybe im living a fun teenage life, but meaningful? No.

INTERVIEWER: right...uh...if you could know the date and circumstance of your death, would you?

TOHU: I already do.

INTERVIEWER: care to elaborate?

TOHU: no.

INTERVIEWER: er..okay..uhm..do you think there will ever be TRUE equality in society?

TOHU: Wish I could say yez, but, unfortunately no. There will always be zomethat that no one will be able to agree on. Even if 99% of humanity were all on the zame page about every political, economic, and religiouz topic, there would alwayz be that 1% of people that dizagreed. We will never reach true world peace and equality, and anyone who thinks we will, is too optimiztic for their own good.

INTERVIEWER: What do you think stands between you and complete happiness?

TOHU: Myzelf. I ruin every happy moment, I zelf zabotage, I make me hate myzelf. I overthink every little thing until it fucking destroyz me. oh, zomeone left me on zeen? They hate me, everyone hatez me, therefore I zhould just kill myzelf. They can't hang out with me? They made up zome excuze and actually hatez me, therefore I zhould kill myzelf. No one haz mezzaged me today? Everyone hatez me and im alone in life, therefore life is not worth living and I zhould just kill myzelf. I could go on and on, but I think you get the point.

INTERVIEWER: Wow..you should get help for that...

TOHU: I am, but I can't depend on otherz to fix me, I gotta help myzelf...zo I am...err at leazt TRYING to.

INTERVIEWER: That's good you're getting help...do you have any advice for anyone in the same situation as you?

TOHU: Yeah, I do. Don't let other people control your emotionz. If they leave you on zeen, they might be buzy, or they don't know how to rezpond to you quite yet. Hate to zay it, but their life doesn't revolve around you. Everyone has a life, and zo zhould you. If they aren't talking to you, put your phone down, and actually do zomething. Watch a movie, go on a walk, read, do anything! Don't zit around feeling zorry for yourzelf. Get up and help yourzelf. zometimez people will be mad at you, they might ignore you, they might talk zhit about you...but that's not the end of the world. Just don't rely on people to dictate YOUR emotionz. That'z really it.
