Never underestimate the human ability to ruin an otherwise good situation.
It’s a good thing self-awareness isn’t something you’re born with, because if some of you could see yourselves- you’d slide into depression faster than a pre-pubescent teenager in his lover’s DMs.

Anyway, I think I understand what causes us to be miserable. It’s simple- Lack.
You and your bare-naked ass are tired of not having shit. I get that, since until recently, I too was a member of the broke variety.
But we are creatures of habit, and you’ve been practicing being a Karen for so long, even if wealth somehow landed in your lap- trust you’d still be an unhappy miserable person.
So what are you supposed to do now?
Do you take the moral high ground, demonize money and anyone who has the “good” life, and remain the neighborhood awkward kid who watches people from his window and smells funny?
Nay friends, there is a better way.
“If you want what you’ve never had, you must become someone you’ve never been” –Panda Express Fortune Cookie.
Open that hard ass rock you call your mind and pretend you don’t know shit, because you don’t. That’s step one.
Your life has been a battle because you chafe against every single moment of it. If you took a different approach, if you decided to be playful just for a single day, you’d suddenly find people and life itself, treating you differently.
One thing that helps me keep things in perspective- Me, you, everyone you know and love, we’re all dying. When we walk out that front door, we might never return. Keep that on your mind and suddenly you’ll feel a tingly sensation- a rare form of awareness, an oceanic feel to the very fabric of human existence. Overcome by awe at the very attempt to conceptualize your insignificance- and then… you’ll watch a tiktok and be a dumbass again.
We get to do this once, might as well play.
