“It’s going to be okay.”
No. It’s not. Quit that this very moment.
Listen to me.
This craving of certainty is pandemic. This craving of safety, of security, of predictability, this is useless. These things don’t exist in a larger sense, in a long-term sense. The universe does not recognize those words. There are no guarantees in your life. Nothing is fair. The only thing that matters next is what you do, what you make, how you move forward. How you live, how you conduct yourself being alive, how you grow, how you change.
Living is the ability to change and grow and create, living is a spark, living is a purpose and a desire to keep going. It is not finding a safe hole and crawling into it and staying there forever — that’s dying. That’s ending. That’s stopping.
Living is not burying yourself in the latest video game because you can’t face your fears. Living is not settling for the safe, easy job when you already know the more difficult one that thrills you and makes you happy. Living is not following someone else’s rules because you’re not accustomed to the risk of making your own. If that’s what you’re about, you’ve done nothing. You’ve gone nowhere. You’ll be in that hole forever.
It is the challenge of not knowing that allows us to reach our greatest potential. It is constant change and growth that inspire constant change and growth in us. This is what we need, this is who we are. This is the spark. This is the catalyst. This is what being alive is about.
You don’t need my reassurance. You don’t need anyone’s reassurance. You don’t need to know that it’s going to be “okay“.
I have played this eight times and I can’t stop.
