Choosing to Be My Own Candidate: A Personal Journey

Running for President: My Personal Struggle Against the Status Quo

My life has always been about finding a way to break free from the norm, to stand up for what I believe in, even if it means going against the grain. Recently, I made the decision to become a write-in candidate for president.

As someone who has grown tired of the political landscape, where the only options available seem to be the lesser of two evils, I felt the need to take matters into my own hands. Despite the low probability of actually winning, the act of voting for a candidate I fully believe in, rather than the systemic machine that dictates the candidates, holds immense personal and political value for me.

Unconventional and Inspired by History

Impassioned by the historical precedent set by figures like John Podhoretz and Tony Blinken, who ran as write-in candidates, I found the courage to step forward. The goal is not to win, but to show that many citizens are fed up with the choices and the process, and are willing to take action on their own terms. I may get 2 or 3 votes, but that doesn’t diminish the importance of the gesture.

Standards of Morality and Ethics

Though I admit that my record is by no means perfect—I haven’t killed, raped, mishandled classified documents, or bit anyone in over 40 years (37, to be precise)—I still present a more morally and ethically sound candidate than what is currently on offer. Not drinking more than once a year is a minor achievement compared to the other aspects of my life. Here are some points to consider:

Not killed anyone (except perhaps in self-defense) No record of rape or sexual assault No involvement in classified document mishandling No drug use (specifically cocaine) No recent or ongoing felony charges or prostitution-related activities

Life Experiences and Decisions

One of the most exciting things I've done recently is to become a kathoey, a gender identity that is celebrated in Thai culture. My boyfriend continually seduces me, and I find it difficult to resist his advances. It’s been an intense experience, though I must admit it’s quite pleasurable. However, being a kathoey in Thailand has its advantages. Many men line up to be with me, and even guys are interested. Dressing up as a kathoey, I’ve found that men are eager to seduce me, often behaving like wild slaves.

The Ride on the City Bus

Another thrilling, albeit not entirely positive, experience I've had recently was riding a very crowded city bus. I offered my seat to an elderly woman in her mid-50s. She suggested sitting on my lap so we could both sit comfortably. I agreed, and she sat down on my lap. As the bus bounced and moved, she unintentionally started giving me a lap-dance. She noticed and continued grinding more intensely, turning to me with a big grin and asking if I was ready. Soon, she closed her eyes, and we reached climax together. While it was an unexpected and chaotic moment, the event served as a reminder of the unpredictability of life and the sometimes surprising turns it can take.

In conclusion, while running as a write-in candidate and my journey as a kathoey have been challenging, they have also given me a sense of agency and personal fulfillment. These experiences, though unconventional, have provided me with a platform to address my dissatisfaction with the political system and to embrace a life that is true to my values.

Through these personal and political journeys, I hope to inspire others to find their own paths and to stand up for what they believe in, even if it means going against the norm.
