Young Goodman Brown

Good morning lovers.đŸĒģ💜

October 19th, 2025

I never thought I’d see myself turning into Young Goodman Brown, but here I am many years later after being forced to read his story in English class… relating to him quite well. You see, nothing much has changed since 1835. People continue to claim piety, but are tremendously sinful and cruel behind closed doors.

Young Goodman ventured out into the forest, the same way we venture out into the public, only to be immediately tempted by strange selfish malcontents masquerading as pious, God-loving disciples – that wouldn’t know true happiness if it bit them in the behind.

Does it surprise me that there are a ridiculous amount of closeted Nazis disguised as Republicans? No. Does it surprise anyone?

Thank you Steve for keeping it real.

If you want to hold on to your pink ribbon and call yourself Faith, go for it. But as always, actions (even behind closed doors) matter just as much or even more than what you do in view. In the meantime, I think I’ll continue to stay home suspicious and distrustful of you all, but not joyless. I like my home. I like me. 🤗

Donnie, it is a mad world.
