I've had a terrible writing block here for the past couple of months, and unfortunately, I feel like I've lost a lot of my spark. What is my work supposed to accomplish FOR me and FOR others?
But here we are! Back at it, at least making the attempt, at least getting the gears grinding inside my prefrontal knob. We shall explore such questions together.
The world is constantly watching, waiting for you to fail. That's what it was designed for; that's what its main intention is. Behind every rock there lies a snake ready to fuck your day up. Its venom, a lullaby that consumes your whole psyche, makes you complacent and crumbles apart any dreams you have or will have. It is a persistent and ruthless thing. Mainly, it's your phone, it's social media, it's the news. All the terrible dopamine-seeking behaviors that wish to hypnotize you and prevent you from accomplishing your goals. It is the little evil thing that holds the hourglass and seeks to take away all of your time, until you look back and realize that you weren't living your own life, at all. You are what you consume, you are what you eat.
It's even those around you who pretend to be your friends, or your father who told you you'd never amount to anything, your surrounding circle who congratulate you with an open hand that hides a knife intended for your back. In this world, the only one you can trust is yourself. Trusting yourself is the act of looking inward, away from all the evils and depravities of this world that seek to control you and your future outcomes. Break from those chains and evils that exist within this world. Develop the mentality that… "I'm not trapped here with you, you're trapped here with me." I will be the tiger that stalks my prey, every single moment patiently waiting to pounce and sink my teeth in.
Now, symbolism is important, no? I found myself taking on this image of someone who I want to be, this visionary that makes the largest ripple that the world has ever seen. The mind is a powerful tool, perhaps not perfect in its design, but something you truly have the capability of wielding in a way that benefits you.
It's simply getting out of the hypnosis and conquering your domain. Understanding that your passion is something worth cultivating and holding closest to your heart. It's up to you who you decide to give it to, who is worthy of such energy. Your body is a vessel capable of so many incredible things, your brain the mechanism with which to prompt creation. Align the two and you become unstoppable.
