I Am the Genius of Myself.

I’m sitting on my Rivera, staring through the studio. You humans complicate things. Always waiting for somebody to call you “brilliant,” like a pat on the head makes the art real. Newsflash: no one’s handing out crowns. If they were, I’d already be wearing mine; tilted, gold-plated, and covered in fur.

You’ve got two choices:

Curl up and wait for recognition, or declare it; sharpen your claws and get to work.

Which one actually builds anything?

The industry loves its fairy tales: the anointed genius, plucked from obscurity like some shelter kitten who just happens to meow in perfect pitch. Cute story. Except it’s a lie. The real genius is duct-taped studios, 5 a.m. grind sessions, and bloodshot eyes over a blank page. Genius is refusing to settle for the ordinary scratching post when you can shred the whole damn couch.

I am the genius of myself. Not because I was born with lightning in my whiskers. But because I decided no one else gets to write my story.

And here’s the kicker: so are you. No one writes your story but you.

Stop waiting for permission. Stop whining about prodigies. The crown doesn’t arrive in a FedEx box; it shows up the moment you claim the box. Fits a little crooked at first, sure. But trust me: crooked is how genius looks on a real head.

Now, excuse me. I’ve got walls to stare at and legends to out-nap.
