Greetings, my little sugarpumpkins. It’s a brand new day. It’s a brand new blog.
Before we go any further, I should probably clear up a little matter regarding my identity. To whom it concerns, Marianne Baker is dead. I killed her. From now on, I would like to be referred to as Squirrel Power. Thank you.
“But why?”, you might ask. Good question. A very good question, to which I can provide a very good answer: Because it felt like the right thing to do. That’s why.
You see, I seemed to have fallen to a dark place, a cold, lonely place, where I no longer knew with any certainty who I was or where I was going. Most mornings I could just barely pry myself out of my little bed, so terribly bored was I with my life, with who I had become, with who I wasn’t becoming. It became harder and harder each day to silence that little voice in my head that would say “Just end it now, Marianne… Just do everyone a favor will you and just end it now…” Something had to change. So something… did.
I feel like it’s now or never, you know? It’s time to step up to the plate and take charge of my life, to get more in touch with who I really am, to stop living a lie. I recommend you do the same, because it feels really, really good. (I feel better already… and we’re just getting started!) And so I have decided to dedicate my life to living out my legacy as the human equivalent of a squirrel that is actually a cat trapped inside a squirrel’s body (um.. “Cat Power” was already taken…), until further notice. Because I can’t imagine anything that would make me happier right now.
Does that make sense to you? No? Well, you know what? I hear you. I really do. A lot of things in this world really don’t make sense to me either, you know. A lot of things. For what it’s worth. But the one thing, I mean THE ONE THING that makes a lot of sense to me right now, is that me being Squirrel Power is the right thing to do. And so..
So very nice to meet you (again). :)
Love,
Squirrel Power
