Have you ever seen the movie Pinocchio? You probably all have, but if you haven’t it’s about a little boy, he’s made of wood. And he’s a puppet. And he has this little thing called a conscience. And his consciences name is Jimminy Cricket. Now Jiminy Cricket tells him what things he should do and shouldn’t do, like you can’t lie. We all have Jimminy Crickets. We all have a conscience. I think 50% of us get the good Jimminy Crickets, but the other 50% gets not so nice Jimminy Crickets. The people who get the good Jimminy Crickets tell you that you’ve done a good job or you shouldn’t have done that, but it’s alright, it’ll all work out. The people who get the bad Jimminy Crickets say that everything you do is worthless. That person didn’t talk to you, because of you, you’re annoying, you’re worthless. And I keep saying “worthless” because that’s what people with mental illnesses feel like. You feel like you’re surrounded and you feel attacked. Jiminy Cricket is inside your brain right now attacking you because of something you did. The problem with this is, you don’t know how to fix it. You don’t know how to get the bad Jimminy out of your head. It’s like if cancer took over your body, Jimminy took over your head. So your brain is accustomed to believe that you’re horrible. And no one should ever have to feel that way.
There’s a way to get rid of your bad Jimminy Crickets. And it’s not easy. Nothing in life that’s worth it comes easy, but you could get it out. You can do many things to get that Jiminy Cricket out of your head. You can read, write, talk to someone, listen to music, watch your favorite TV show, dance it out! Do anything. Cause in the long run, it will be worth it. And once the bad Jiminy Cricket is defeated because you will fight it back and you will attack and hurt it, he will run away, and he will never return. Because he’s afraid because you’re a warrior. You defeated that asshole. You are a fighter. And then, the good Jiminy Cricket will come in and will lock himself in and he will never let anything else in. Like negativity, worthless feelings, that good Jiminy Cricket will not let any of that happen to you. Cause the only things it will do is will tell you if you did it good and if you did it bad, it’ll tell you, it works out. No more panic, no more depression, no more voices in your head telling you to do things that aren’t good. Bad Jimminy Crickets want you to die, like an enemy in war. Good Jimminy Crickets want you to live. I want you to live. So defeat that bad Jiminy Cricket. And don’t let it attack you. Defeat Jiminy Cricket, don’t let Jiminy Cricket defeat you. And then the good one will come in, and it will be all worth it.
I promise.
